Largest Chruch in the WORLD !!!!!!!!!


Dr. Cho spoke to a congregation of 1.5 million persons at Christian rally at Sao Paulo in Brazil on September 29, 1997. It was the largest congregation of Christians in the history of Protestant churches.

Prayer meeting : # of people 120,000 ( Only )


The church: Yoido Full Gospel Church, Yoido, Seoul, South Korea.
This is the numero uno church in the world, if size is anything to go by, with over 837,569 members.
Denomination: Pentecostal (Assemblies of God).
The building: It’s a gigantic building that is shaped like a huge baseball stadium.
The lighting is very bright and everything about the place is… shall we say, rather “over the top”. The service felt like a baseball game. I was seated on the extreme right and was tempted to start the wave.The neighborhood: Yoido is an island on the south side of Seoul that is similar to Manhattan in many ways. There is the National Assembly, the Financial District, Stock Exchange… a very “high powered neighborhood” to say the least.
When asked how full was the building, one gentleman reported “A sell-out crowd, bulging at the seams! I felt like I was in the back seat of a compact car with four other people squeezed in.”
When asked to describe the pre-service atmosphere, he responded, “There’s a pre- worship gospel time.
Musical instruments played: “Organ, piano, synth, guitar, drums, flute, clarinet, sax, tambourine… and a symphony orchestra.”
What kind of worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what ??: “It was very hearty. The singing reminded me of a Wesleyan tent revival meeting. But the prayer times got very rowdy.
What’s the point? The word of God says that He (God) has placed us in the body as it pleaseth Him (I Cor 12:18). Regardless of our background and family association with a particular church or denomination, we must still seek God to find out where He specifically wants us to be. And if a church is not the one God wants you at – please don’t talk it down or impede its progress. I’m reminded of the words Jesus gave to his disciple John concerning such a situation.
Mark 9:38-41
-And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.-But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.-For he that is not against us is on our part.-For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
And a word for those that believe that some churches are just to large -
Acts 2:41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.Acts 4:4
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

Chicago, Illinois

Chicago has quite a large parade of its own, with more than 300,000 spectators turning out annually, but the Windy City has something else going for it that no other city can claim – the Chicago River gets dyed green for the occasion! Since the 1960s, Chicago has dyed its river a shade of emerald green and at least one local company now offers sightseeing cruises, complete with a meal of corned beef and cabbage, down the green river.
