The world's largest church...

My first Sunday here, I went to visit Yoido Full Gospel Tabernacle. My mom watches the services at home and I had actually watched a few with her and she suggested that I visit the church.

Yoido Full Gosspel Church is a Protestant church in Yeouido in Seoul. It has about 1 million members and it's the largest Protestant Christian church in South Korea and the world. It was founded in 1958 by Pastor David Yonggi Cho.

They have various services throughout Sunday and I went to the 1pm service (when they have translators). The sermon is translated into Japanese, English, Spanish, Chinese, French and many others.

I looked up the information online and headed to church. The greeters were very nice and directed me to the foreigner section. I listened to the sermon in Spanish.



And I thought Thomas Road Baptist in Lynchburg was huge!
