Rev. Choi Seong-gyu (second from right, photo) of Incheon Full Gospel Church and 1,200 some church members held marketing events at three traditional market places in Ansan, to help the local economy. The events were organized to commemorate the church’s 31st anniversary. This was the day when the government, responding to the wish of the families of missing victims of the Sewol ferry disaster, officially announced the end of underwater search operations. Immediately following the Sewol sinking, Incheon Full Gospel Church held a “candlelight prayer service for the safe return of those missing,” and the church has contributed offerings of 50 million won to Incheon Community Chest of Korea to help the bereaved families and victims.
