AFTER a series of natural disasters that struck the Philippines, members of an international religious organization show how far it would take to share one’s life — literally by donating blood.

The World Mission Society Church of God, a congregation that was first founded in Korea in 1948 by Ahn Sahng-Hong, their God the Father, conducted for the first time in the Philippines a blood donation campaign at the Quezon City hall Sunday in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross and St. Luke’s Medical Center “to share the love of God the Father and help save lives.”

In the gathering attended by more than 600 possible church member donors from their branch churches in Metro Manila, Choi Jeong Maan, lead pastor of the World Missionary Church of God-Philippines said that their blood campaign tagged “I Have Already Come,” is “to make Filipinos aware of the importance of blood donation in accordance with the teachings of God and to show the society that God already had come to save mankind with his blood of the Passover.”

“Blood means life. And because we want to follow the teachings of God and to save souls and lives, we helped by donating our blood,” he told INQUIRER.net, adding that he has heard that the Philippines is lacking in blood after the several calamities that hit the country.

    thank you for your reporting about our event. However, I have one asking. Please modify our church name po. our church name is “World Mission Society Church of God” and Our Church was established by second coming christ Ahnsahnghong in “1948″.
    missionary –> mission
    1946 –> 1948 
    Thank you. God bless you po!!

    I can see It’s not easy to donate blood for others and it’s rare to see 600 people gathered together to donate blood although they are Christians.

    I’ve got curious what’s the teachings of God they follow and what’s in theri mind. :-)

    Thanks a lot !!
    My friend, member of WMSCOG in Philippines, spoke about this reporting. As you mentioned, WMSCOG trys to deliver the love of the Passover restored by Christ Ahnsahnghong in this last age. And, WMSCOG follows God the Mother. Of course, the bible testifies about God the Mother as well as Christ Ahnsahnghong. Gal 4:26[But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.]
    Blood donation took place to deliver Elohim God’s love toward the whole world. Thanks!!
