Yeouido Full Gospel Church, 100 Million Won Special Donation for Birth and Care Campaign

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Yoido Full Gospel Church announced on the 24th that it has donated 100 million KRW as a special sponsorship fund for the CBS childbirth and care campaign to CBS President Kim Jin-oh.

According to Yoido Full Gospel Church, Senior Pastor Lee Young-hoon of Yoido Full Gospel Church held a donation ceremony on the 23rd and delivered the 100 million KRW sponsorship fund. The ceremony was held prior to the thanksgiving service commemorating the 1st anniversary of the ‘CBS Childbirth Care Campaign’ at Yoido Full Gospel Church.

Pastor Lee Young-hoon stated, “Hearing the news from Statistics Korea that our country's total fertility rate is 0.79, we are concerned about the future of the Republic of Korea and believe that all sectors, including the church and political circles, must unite to overcome this crisis.”

The total fertility rate refers to the expected number of children a woman will have in her lifetime, which recently recorded a historic low of 0.7.

Yoido Full Gospel Church has been actively addressing social issues caused by the declining birth rate by providing childbirth incentives since 2012. Since last year, the existing support funds have been significantly increased: 500,000 KRW for the first child, 2 million KRW for the second, 5 million KRW for the third and fourth, and 10 million KRW for the fifth and subsequent children. In addition, the church operates its own infant programs and daycare centers.
