This Monday (13), Pastor David Yonggi Cho, founder of the Full Gospel Church of Yoido, considered the “largest church in the world” linked to the Assembly of God, died on Yeouido Island, in Seoul, South Korea.
The 85-year-old reverend passed away at 7:13 am in a Seoul hospital where he had been treated since collapsing from a brain hemorrhage in July 2020.
“He shared the gospel of hope with the Korean people who fell into despair after the Korean War,” the church said in a statement. “He was instrumental in the growth of the Korean church, particularly developing the Yoido Full Gospel Church into the largest church in the world.”
The late pastor started his church in Seoul with five worshipers in 1958, when South Korea was still struggling to rebuild from the ashes of the 1950-53 Korean War. Under his leadership, the institution achieved explosive growth and became a symbol of the rapid growth of Christianity in what was then a deeply Confucian country.
In 1993, the church had over 700,000 members, making it the largest congregation in the world, according to Guinness World Records.
However, church officials say that membership has dwindled to around 600,000 and they cannot confirm whether it remains the largest in the world.
Yonggi Cho was born on February 14, 1936 in Ulsan, South Korea. The reverend leaves three children. His funeral is scheduled for next Saturday (18).
