Ministries of The Church

Yoido Full Gospel Church has established many ministries as part of its outreach program, both locally and internationally. A representative sample of them follows:

• In March 1973, the Osanri Prayer Mountain was founded. Comprising tiny cubicles in which people may lock themselves to fast and pray, Prayer Mountain now receives more than a million visitors a year, including some 50,000 foreigners.
• In November 1976, Church Growth International, an organization dedicated to teaching the principles of evangelism and church growth to pastors all over the world, was established.
• A ten-story World Evangelical Center, an educational institution attached to the church, was opened on 20 January 1977.
• A television studio, opened on 31 December 1981, was built to broadcast the worship services both nationally and internationally.
• The Full Gospel Educational Research Institute, now the International Theological Institute, to promote evangelism and theological training.
• In January 1986, Elim Welfare Town, a facility for the elderly, the young, the homeless, and the unemployed, was set up under the auspices of the church. The latter would be given training and a choice of four occupations. In March of the same year, the church established Hansei University.
