[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Yoido Full Gospel Church, Good People International, and the Salvation Army held the ‘2022 Visiting Christmas with Neighbors, Hope Box Sharing’ event on the 22nd.

Pastor Lee Young-hoon of Yoido Full Gospel Church, Chairman Choi Kyung-bae of Good People, and Commander Jang Man-hee of the Salvation Army personally visited the Namdaemun jjokbangchon (small room village) carrying hope boxes. This year, First Lady Kim Geon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, accompanied them especially.

Pastor Lee Young-hoon said, “Love is not words but actions, and it grows the more it is shared. Every year, at the end of the year, the Salvation Army and Good People cooperate with Seoul City to visit jjokbangchon and practice love, which makes me happy,” adding, “I hope this love practice movement will not be limited to today’s event but will be manifested in actions in the hearts of all citizens throughout the year.”

First Lady Kim Geon-hee also said, “I hope our small actions fill our society with hope and that that warmth seeps into every corner,” adding, “At the end of the year and New Year, I hope more people will join in warmly embracing our neighbors who are marginalized in our society and practicing love.”

Through this event, 750 hope boxes were delivered to the Namdaemun and Donui-dong jjokbangchon.
