VCF Zamboanga Blood Donation Drive

Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ! Our church is holding a blood letting drive on November 28, from 8am to 12pm at the VCF center.

Some of you may ask, “What does the church hope to achieve from this project?”

I’m sure most of the congregation has heard of stories from family members and friends, of how hard it is to get blood from hospitals and blood banks whenever there is a need. Some of our members may have even experienced this and can relate to such situations.

It’s expensive. It’s hard to find the right blood type. And the list goes on.

The church hopes to prevent our members in need from going through such hardships with this project.

Jesus' teachings on compassion give us reason to donate if we are able. Our love for fellow man should compel us to do what we are capable of.

We should prayerfully consider what God would have us do in regards to donating blood to help others (James 1:5; Philippians 4:6-7).

If we feel led to give blood, then there is no reason we should not.

Remember how Jesus gave His blood to the point of death, and had told His followers, "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).
