Having reached 15 years as a local congregation, Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) members in the Local Congregation of Busan, Ecclesiastical District of South Korea celebrated their anniversary via a get together event at a hotel in Sasang-gu, Busan on April 28, 2024. Brother Dante Brul, resident minister led the program.
After the opening prayer and opening remarks by Brother Brul, video greetings of brethren from various local congregations in South Korea, and that of Brother Ernesto Francisco, assistant district supervising minister, were shown.
The program included musical presentations as well as interactive games that were both enjoyed by everyone in attendance. A video presentation narrating the congregation’s history since its nascent years was also featured.
“It is so heartwarming to be a witness of God’s helping hands working in our congregation. We bonded together today and we found ourselves closer to one another as we uphold our services to the Father. I all the more promise to uphold my calling with the fervent desire to please Him,” said Arjay Millares, a choir member.
“They are far away from Seoul, where the district leadership holds office, but they never allow themselves to be far from the zeal that the Church as a whole exhibits. They further strive for God’s glory,” attested Brother Francisco. The city of Busan is more than 300 kilometers away from Seoul, where the district office is. — With reports from Chris Antonette Pugay of INC News Section
