Dr. David Yonggi Cho was the founding pastor of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, Korea (he graduated to Heaven in 2021).

The written teaching based on Pastor Cho's original small booklet.
My wife Marie and I and our family have been immeasurably blessed by practicing Pastor Cho’s Tabernacle Prayer that we learned from a small booklet given to us by Wesley Tullis at the World Prayer Center in Colorado Springs many years ago. Then years later the Lord arranged for us to help record this video teaching and make it available to others. Through various YouTube channels the teaching has now been seen by millions and may be the most watched prayer teaching on the internet. — Derek Packard
About Pastor Cho
Pastor David Yonggi Cho, founder of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, grew it from 5 members to over 830,000, making it the world’s largest congregation. Through cell-group discipleship, Osanri Prayer Mountain (hosting over a million annual visitors), and massive evangelistic campaigns, he sparked revival across Korea and beyond. Cho’s ministry trained pastors from 50 nations, sent 657 missionaries to 63 countries, and helped plant 1,200+ churches worldwide. His vision birthed welfare centers, global broadcasts, and outreach even to North Korea, demonstrating faith in action. Though not without controversy, his Spirit-empowered legacy reshaped nations through prayer, compassion, and evangelism.
According to Pastor Cho, Tabernacle Prayer is a biblical method to worship God and receive more anointing, and the most important prayer God taught him. We’ve prayed this way for over 20 years and have seen firsthand its transforming power. Compared to many Bible studies, Tabernacle Prayer is a superior way to get the core truths about Jesus Christ into your heart and put them into practice. Read our family’s testimony.
Marie and I have a deep love and respect for pastors. Her dad and mom (Leroy & Marilyn Lebeck) pastored for 60 years and my sister and brother-in-law (Bill & Holly Cobb) have been pastors for over 40 years. It’s our deep desire that many pastors and Christian leaders will learn from the testimony of Pastor Cho.
