Church of God Hosts Blood Drive on March 25 in D.C.

Friday, March 23, 2012

#The World Mission Society Church of God (General Pastor Joo-Cheol Kim) carries out the “Worldwide Blood Drive to Give Life Through the Love of the Passover 2012” in Korea and every country of the world to save patients who are in critical condition due to blood shortage.

#In Korea, the blood drive will be carried out in order throughout the country. In the case of overseas churches, about 2,200 Churches of God in 170 countries in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa where the Church of God is established, will perform it. The Church said, “It will continue until April 5th on which the 2012 Passover Assembly is held.”

#In the case of the Unites States, the blood drive is being held in the Nation’s Capitol of Washington, D.C. at the Eastern Market North Hall with Inova Blood Donor Services on March 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In this blood drive, the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia communities are invited to take action and stand united donating blood under the organization of their choice competing to raise most blood. In addition, the Church of God will display its history and accomplishments in Washington, D.C. to the public during this event with musical performances and smiles on every face.

#The worldwide blood drive of the Church of God will give great help to the patients suffering from incurable diseases such as leukemia or cancer, and the patients who need urgent blood transfusion due to sudden accident. Additionally, they will contribute greatly to expanding the base of blood donation by destroying negative view on blood donation.

#The Passover of the new covenant, which the Church regards as important, is the day when Jesus Christ promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to those who have bread and wine representing His flesh and blood; Jesus established this new covenant on the night before He was crucified 2,000 years ago
