According to World Vision, one of the world’s largest international Christian humanitarian organisations, South Korea is the only nation which has transformed itself from a receiving country to a giving country.

CGNTV was launched by Onnuri Community Church in Seoul, Korea in 2005 to aid the Korean missionaries scattered around the world to deliver the gospel.

Only 8% of the time do they worry about real concerns that will need to be faced. So, if only about 8% of all the issues in our lives really turn out to be ‘something’ why is it that we spend so much time worrying and being highly anxious and stressed about all the rest?
