The United Church of Christ in the Philippines deplores in the strongest terms the recent order issued by the Anti- Money Laundering Council (AMLAC) “freezing the bank deposits and assets of a religious group’s center allegedly used to finance or support terrorism. The order covers the three bank accounts of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines’ (UCCP) Haran Center with the Philippine National Bank amounting to more or less PHP600,000” (referring to UCCP-Haran in Davao City) as quoted from the report released by the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on March 28, 2021.
This stewardship fundraising campaign aims to establish the UCCP Retirement Plan Program and to support other programs related to improving the benefit and welfare of all church workers, past and present, for their unwavering commitment and dedication to the life and ministry of the church.
The Club seeks to reach out to at least 100 individuals, families, groups, institutions, and partners that will each contribute a significant amount to UCCP by the end of the present Quadrennium.
