In celebration of the 52nd birthday of Mother Church, we, all saints of the Bright Light Berea Sungrak Church, sincerely celebrate the mother church and give our deepest gratitude.
Happy birthday!
May the Lord’s comfort and help are always with the ministry of Sungrak Church!
May the happiness and joy of heaven be filled in your hearts.
Sungrak Church has led us through even in any crisis and pain, not forgetting or giving up on us.
Thus, this is why our church is here now. We have grown eating the blood and flesh of Sungrak Church.
We have stood on the shoulders of Sungrak Church. Sungrak Church is our spiritual source and a goal of our journey.
We will follow the steps of Sungrak Church. We will keep the principle of ‘Semuon(Senior-Overseer, Ki-Dong Kim), Sungrak Church, and Berea Movement’ as one. We pray that the Lord will give us the inspiration and power to follow Sungrak Church. Sungrak Church is the source of blessing. When we cooperate and participate in the ministry of Sungrak Church, we believe that we can also be the source of blessing. May the Lord help us to follow the blueprint of Senior-Overseer and Overseer.
Thank you very much again. Immanuel!

Дорогая Церковь «Сонрак». Я очень рада сегодня за вас, что вы сегодня отмечаете юбилей 52 летие! Господь обильно благословил вас, если у вас идет 52 год вашего служения Богу, это полвека отношений с Богом, это ваши горячие молитвы, это полвека непрерывного труда, которое вы сеяли со слезами. Господь, никогда не оставляет свою церковь. Сегодня этот тот день, когда вы пожинаете плоды, но на этом нельзя останавливаться, а еше усерднее надо служить нашему Господу. Мои личные поздравления вам.
Хотя мы далеко находимся от вас, но тем не менее, мы очень хорошо знаем вас, до нас дошли ваши интересные, живые, впечатляющие книги.
Дорогие епископ и сонракинцы! Я очень люблю Вас! Пусть Господь Благословит вас и направляет на путь истинный! Мир Вам!
We are so happy to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of our beloved Sungrak Church!
In 52 years of serving God, there is a fellowship with God and earnest prayer toward God during the half-century.
The Lord knows endless effort to sow in tears during half-century and bless abundantly.
The Lord doesn’t leave His church at all. As the work of the farmer continues, even if today is the day to reap fruits, we also hope Sungrak Church proceeds to serve the Lord harder.
Sincerely congratulation!
Although we are far from you, we always notice Sungrak Church.
Because the Berea books that are full of life are even delivered to us.
Dear Overseer and the members of Sungrak Church, we love you!
We pray the Lord will bless you and guide you on the true way!
We hope the peace of the Lord will always be with you!

Поздравляю, дорогую мою Верию и всех служителей на Ниве Божьей с таким прекрасным праздником! С Днём Рождения! Спасибо, Богу, что вы есть начало! И это начало было на основании Божьего слова, на основании Бога, который жив от начала вечности.
Я по огромной милости присоединилась к вам, таким красивым Божьим людям! Вы уже проложили нелегкий путь Верийского движения, вы трудитесь на этом пути! Благодаря вам, такой ничтожный человек, как я, обрела возможность подойти к храму живого Бога и стать маленьким камешком в Его строении!
Низкий поклон мой старшему епископу Ким Ги Донгу и епископу Ким Сонг Хен! Спасибо за ваше широкое и любящее сердце, которое вмещает людей всего мира, в том числе и меня, малого человека из Украины!
Дорогие мои сонракинцы, вы служители великого живого Бога! Я желаю вам больше возрастать в познании Божьей истины! Будьте до конца верными рабами в служении распространения Евангелия до края земли!
С любовью к вам сестра Валентина из Украины.
Happy birthday to Sungrak Church. Congratulations for welcoming the great day to beloved Bereans and all ministers who are in God’s ground.
Thanks to God for starting this difficult path with you all! The beginning is based on the Word of God and living God from eternity. With the great mercy of God, I joined among God’s beautiful people! You have paved the difficult path and are still on it now! Thanks to you, even the insignificant person like me gained the opportunity to reach the temple of God closer and become the small stone of the divine temple of God.
I express my respect to Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim and Senior-Overseer Ki-Dong Kim.
Thank you for your love to embrace all over the world, including the small person like me from Ukraine!
Beloved Sungrak Church people, you are servants of the living God!
May you grow more and more as God’s servants who spread the truth of God!
I pray you to be faithful to the ministry of spreading the Gospel till the ends of the earth!
I love you!

Thank God for Sungrak Mission at 52.
Indeed, God is faithful to take the ministry this far.
The ministry has taken many back to the Bible, exposing erroneous teachings and beliefs that were passed down from ages, which misled many to dooms.
Sharing the gospels across the world through free gospel materials and social media.
Indeed, the book of Proverbs 11:30 has said it all (The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.)
A big congratulation to you and more grace and auction for the task ahead.
Yours in the Lord,
Favour J., Nigeria
