Pastor Benny Hinn Pays Tribute to Pastor Paul Yonggi Cho

Pastor Benny Hinn sent a touching tribute to the late Pastor, Dr David Yonngi Cho and a part of the speech said “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. <br /><br />Cho, an emeritus pastor at Seoul’s Yoido Full Gospel Church, died on September 14, 2021 at a Seoul hospital where he had been treated since he collapsed due to a cerebral hemorrhage in July 2020. <br /><br />Pastor Benny’s tribute :<br /><br />Even as I grieve Dr. Cho’s passing from this earth, I’m also rejoicing that he has graduated to his remarkable heavenly reward.<br /><br />I am praying for the members of the Cho family and the staff and membership of Yoido Full Gospel Church. I am especially lifting up Young Hoon Lee, who in 2008 succeeded Dr. Cho as senior pastor.<br /><br />Psalm 37:23 declares that a good person’s steps are “ordered by the Lord.” Certainly, this was true of each step of Dr. Cho’s well-spent 85 years.<br /><br />This was a man who received Christ as Savior and Lord as a teenager, an evangelist whose zeal for souls brought millions to Calvary’s cross, a preacher who conveyed hope to the war-ravaged and despairing South Korean nation, and the leader of a worldwide prayer movement. He was perhaps best known as the proponent of small cell groups that eventually built his fledgling tent church in 1958 to more than 800,000 members, with 400 pastors and evangelists as well as 500 missionaries around the globe.<br /><br />Dr. Cho also founded and led numerous related organizations and charities that included Church Growth International (teaching the principles of church growth and evangelism), Elim Welfare Town (serving the homeless and unemployed of all ages), and Kukmin Ilbo (a South Korean daily newspaper). In addition, he spent years as chairman of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, Korean Christian Leaders Association, and Good People charity organization.<br /><br />Who could have known such a remarkable legacy would come from an impoverished rural youth who picked up English from American soldiers
