NJ Onnuri Church Calling Concert

On July 4, 2025, Independence Day, Korean American Food for the Hungry International (KAFHI) held a Calling Concert in collaboration with Onnuri Church in New Jersey, led by Senior Pastor Mark Choi. The concert featured Eunseong Yoo, a contemporary Christian music (CCM) singer and ambassador for KAFHI, as well as the Malja Halmae team from the Gag Concert, including Beomgyun Jeong and Younghee Kim. Despite being a holiday, nearly 300 church members attended the concert, which was filled with laughter and tears, creating a truly graceful atmosphere.

Through Saturday's Calling Concert and Sunday service, members of the Onnuri Church in New Jersey became friends of hope for over 200 children in Myanmar and Uganda. This event provided a valuable opportunity for the Korean community in New Jersey to learn about KAHI's vision. Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

Atlanta Promise Church CFCT mission cooperation

On March 30, 2025, a ceremony was held to sign a mission cooperation agreement with KAFHI and Promise Church at Promise Church in Atlanta. As part of the church's 40th-anniversary project, Promise Church was exploring a new direction for its mission efforts. They became very interested in the CFCT (Child-Focused Community Transformation) ministry of KAFHI(Korean American Food for the Hungry International) and began investigating various mission fields the previous year.

In February of this year, Promise Church's mission leaders embarked on a scouting mission to Ecuador. During this trip, they visited the Calderon Center in Ecuador, met with missionaries Ted Yim and Adela Yim, listened to their presentations, and explored various organizations and communities. This experience ignited a strong desire for self-reliance and evangelization in the region. As a result, Promise Church decided to launch the CFCT at the Calderon Center in Ecuador as its 40th-anniversary project.
