David Yonggi Cho went to be with the Lord recently. He was a South Korean Christian minister, evangelist, intercessor, and life coach. He was a co-founder of the Yoido Full Gospel Church (Assemblies of God), acclaimed the world’s largest congregation.
David was raised initially as a Buddhist. He was converted to Christianity by a beautiful girl at the age of 17. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis but received divine healing. Sensing God’s calling into the ministry, Cho began working as an interpreter for the American evangelist Ken Tize. In 1956, he received a scholarship to study theology at Full Gospel Bible College in Seoul. While there, he met Choi Ja-Shil, who became his mother-in-law and a close ministerial associate. He graduated in March 1958.
“God will never bring about any of His great works without coming through your own personal faith”
David Cho is well known for the cell ministry. A remarkable system that began in the early church and is responsible for building a church that is focused on raising members in small groups and missionary. He emphasized the importance of cell group ministry, which he believed was the key to church growth, as well as team ministry.
In 2008, Cho retired, with Young Hoon Lee succeeding him as senior pastor. Death Cho died on 14 September 2021 at the age of 85 due to complications from a stroke.
He was a great church pastor, prayer minister, evangelist, and author of several life transforming books. Some of which are listed below. He will be greatly missed by the global Christian community.
If you are pastoring a church, or running a small group or in ministry this book Successful Home Cell Groups will greatly enhance your work in raising mature Christians for God.
The book The Fourth Dimension: Combined Edition is a book that for me described David’s amazing faith Journey and the results that he God.
There have been many books written about the One who proceeds from the Father. This book Holy Spirit, My Senior Partner takes it to another level.
