[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Seongbuk-gu Church Association (President Sangjin Yoo, Pastor of Yeongam Church) donated 5 million won in sponsorship funds for vulnerable groups on the 1st.

The delivery ceremony was held at the Seongbuk-gu Office on the same day, along with discussions on cooperation to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in religious facilities. The Church Association expressed its intention to "pray for the quarantine authorities and medical staff and actively cooperate with the administration that is fully committed to responding to COVID-19."

Seungro Lee, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, "I thank the Seongbuk-gu Church Association for donating sponsorship funds to neighbors in need who are facing even more difficult situations due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and added, "We will focus more on preventing the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the smooth progress of residents' vaccinations, which are being carried out sequentially, so that the 450,000 residents of Seongbuk-gu can return to their daily lives as soon as possible."

The Seongbuk-gu Church Association proactively decided to hold online (video) worship services last year to prevent the spread of COVID-19, providing technical equipment and personnel necessary for video worship to small churches that find non-face-to-face worship difficult, supporting rental fees, and actively cooperating with the administration to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in the local community.

Since 2020, they have also been conducting a neighborly love campaign by donating a total of 25 million won in sponsorship funds to Seongbuk-gu for low-income families.

In addition to the donation, the Church Association is preparing to share Easter cakes. During Easter week, through 16 major local churches, they plan to deliver 2,000 love cakes directly made for nearby small business owners who are struggling due to COVID-19.
