Features
Finland is renowned as the “Land of Forests and Lakes,” with over 180,000 lakes and vast stretches of verdant forest.[1]
Approximately one-third of the country lies within the Arctic Circle, preserving its pristine and unspoiled natural environment.
During winter, Finland experiences the polar night, a phenomenon where the sun remains below the horizon for extended periods, casting days into continuous darkness. In contrast, the midnight sun brightens summer nights, keeping the sky illuminated around the clock. Between September and March, the northern regions of Finland showcase spectacular aurora borealis displays, creating enchanting snowy landscapes that attract visitors from around the world.
Members of the Church of God in Helsinki actively preach the message of God Elohim, spreading the hope of heaven to citizens. They are also committed to environmental preservation, undertaking cleanups in various locations, including Helsinki Central Station Square and the Malmi district in Oulu. Through environmental initiatives such as the “Mother’s Street” project, they promote the importance of protecting the environment while fostering cleaner, safer, and more pleasant public spaces.
The relationship between Finland and the Church of God originated in 2003 during the Daegu Summer Universiade held in South Korea. On that occasion, the Church of God members in Korea passionately supported the Finnish basketball team in a match played the day before the opening ceremony. Timo Simonen, head of the Finnish delegation, expressed deep gratitude for their heartfelt encouragement.[2] The Church members continued their support throughout the competition, establishing a meaningful friendship that transcended national borders.
Decades later, the Church of God in Helsinki continues to thrive, drawing many Finnish citizens eager to learn about the gospel. Members pursue a profound life of faith, striving to understand true love and the truth of the new covenant. They also participate in Overseas Visiting Group trip to Korea, enriching their faith.[3]
