Dr Kim Sung Hae, wife of Dr Yonggi Cho, will be coming for the Mother’s Day weekend! Really looking forward to it as she speaks simple truths that hit straight to the heart. And she is really motherly too! Always asking Pastor Kong to eat well and rest more! =)
With her upcoming visit, I realised that I haven’t shared the photos I took when I visited Yoido Full Gospel Church! I know I know… it’s been 2 years since I visited the place but well… good things must be shared right? I also thought I might as well finish blogging about my holiday there. Before you grasp in horror, it’s really only 3 more posts… so enjoy ok? ;D
We did not actually plan on visiting the church since we were on a group tour and everyday was packed with activities. Who would have known that the night we reached back Seoul the hotel we were originally supposed to be staying in was full and they had to arrange for us to put up at another hotel? Imagine how pleasantly surprised we were when we were dropped off at our hotel and realised that it was just opposite the church? =D
We attended the 7am service as it was the earliest timing available before we set out on our tour schedule. And the service was already quite filled! It has traditional wooden pews and I saw that most of the members were older folks. Probably the timing is too early for the younger ones?
The guest speaker that day was an African pastor who spoke in English so we did not have to use the translation sets. Although the whole service was definitely different in style from what we were used to, God’s presence and the atmosphere of faith in the place was still evident!
We walked around the church for a while before it was time to leave. Not sure what those cards were for…
People coming for the next service!
Lots of cars!
Saying bye to Yeouido Island! Btw, this island does not just house the largest church in the world, it also contains the National Assembly (government) and HQs of LG and major TV stations KBS and MBC!
