During a recent administrative committee meeting held on May 31, 2023, the Korean Union Conference (KUC) announced they distributed over 284,200 Christian books nationwide. They expressed gratitude for the active participation of churches, organizations, and church members.

To reciprocate this enthusiasm, the KUC provided approximately ₩200 million in funding. In response to this enthusiasm, they also organized an Impact Day campaign in response to this enthusiasm, dedicating their full efforts to book distribution.

Since April 15, The Great Controversy Project 2.0 campaign has garnered continued interest and support, surpassing its initial goals of 100,000 books within two weeks.

Amid The Great Controversy Project approaching nearly 300,000 volumes, KUC staff members are taking to the streets with an Impact Day campaign.

Korean Union Conference Staff Organize Impact Day Campaign

In addition, the staff members of the KUC, including Pastor Soon-gi Kang, union president, organized Impact Day on the same day, starting at 3:30 p.m. The staff distributed a specially produced booklet version of Ellen White’s The Great Controversy in designated areas assigned to each department. Working in groups, they presented the “Word of Life” to passersby and shops in high-foot-traffic areas such as Hoegi Station, Cheongnyangni Station, Kyung Hee University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, etc. The members all gathered and chanted the slogan “I Will Go!” before they went and prayed for the neighbors who received these booklets to respond to the invitation of eternity.

The KUC explained that “Impact Day aims to deliver the final message to the community in this time of crisis and to save the people living without hope.” They encouraged every single church member to actively participate in the activity, which took place on Sabbath, June 3.

The full-scale expansion of The Great Controversy Project 2.0 campaign, which has gained momentum, is part of the global action plan to be implemented by the General Conference until next year. Unlike the previous Project 1.0, it has diversified into the form of digital books. The global church anticipates this will serve as a catalyst for regaining momentum as a ministry that has been hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
