Renowned architect, Johan Huibers, on the 22nd of last month during the Sunday worship at the Holyseeds Church, led a special hymn performance of "Amazing Grace" and expressed his joy, saying, "I am delighted to donate the modern version of the 'Noah's Ark,' a symbol of the covenant for the salvation of humanity, to the Republic of Korea, the only divided nation in the world." He continued, singing:

"Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares

I have already come

This grace that brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home

When we've been here ten thousand years

Bright, shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we first begun"

On that day, Johan Huibers mentioned, "Due to a busy schedule, I had to depart for the Netherlands, but after consulting with my beloved wife in the Netherlands, I decided to visit Holyseeds Church one more time. God allowed me to visit Holyseeds Church once again," and he expressed, "Through Head Pastor Dae Cheon Seo, the Holyseeds Church congregation, SDC students, and those who fervently love God, the living God has bestowed great grace."

He went on to say, "I was greatly inspired by the passionate dedication and praise of the students attending the 'SDC Academy,' an affiliated ministry of Holyseeds Church. I understand that most of the students are entering prestigious universities in the United States, and I hope that the universities in the Netherlands will also take a keen interest in SDC students."
