It’s time to spur the salvation of lost souls in the world

By the help of God, we finished the overseas conference started from North America, to South Asia and to Brazil. We give thanks God what He has done.

The Conference in Haiti (May 23~26)

The first overseas conference began in Haiti from May 23~26. 
The conference for the pastors in Haiti was held from May 23~25 and for the church members took place in the presidential palace square May.25~26 in the evening.

 The Republic of Haiti is a Caribbean country around North America. Outwardly, around 80% of Haitians profess to Catholics. Protestants make up about 14% of   population. Some Haitians combine their Catholicism with elements of Voodoo and 6% is in Voodoo. However, it’s not much to say that all Christians and Catholics do the practice of Voodoo. Therefore, 100% believes in Voodoo 

There were lots of difficulties like heavy rain at the moment. Nevertheless, the word of God spoken through Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon was told in their ears and moved their spirits. Every time, the gospel of Jesus Christ was preached like the rain pouring down. The gospel of blood of Jesus Christ flowing down from the cross gave a strong impact on to the pastors’ spirit through the air.

Like cutting out the heart by a sharp knife, sermon by Pastor Yoon, Suk-Jeon on the platform was melting their stiff-necked minds.

 “Repent” shouted Pastor, Yoon Seok-Jeon. On hearing his pathetic voice        crying out, the pastors wearing nice suits started to kneel down on the cement floor before God and repented their sins raising their two hands. They cried and begged humbly for forgiveness. While the prayers was making, the ruler of the kingdom of the air who is Satan, devil, evil spirit fled away. The sky used to be covered with dark clouds of evil spirits spiritually. The spiritual air over the Port-aut-Prince is completely cleared now.

 A state-run broadcasting station, RTG, set up the news cameras and covered the news about the conference from the first day. For two days, the conference was broadcasted live across the country on Saturday and Sunday evening on prime-time television.

The TV station informed us that over 6 million people watched the live broadcasting. 6 million people is 70% of population in Haiti.  When the conference finished, lots of people called the TV station and told what they accepted Jesus Christ as a savior and various diseases were healed.  Even the people living in a small town around countryside called and said that they have known Jesus Christ and experienced the power of the Living God.

 The director general of the TV station delivered the appreciation plaque with his signature to Yonsei central Baptist Church. He also requested to allow him to broadcast whenever a conference is held in Haiti.

Before the conference, Christians fell short of 14% but now about 42% of population became Christian according to official results. That was an amazing event done by the Living God.

■The Conference in San Francisco (May 28th~29th)

The Eden Presbyterian church invited Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon and held conference for evangelization in San Francisco USA from May 28(Tue) to29(Wed).

It was the third conference in Four years after 2008 and 2009. “When you repent   your sins and wash your body which filled with sins, there is a way to live. The life of religious, earthly and physical is unlawful as it is written in the bible. The hell is the end of such life.” said Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon. Furthermore, he emphasized that you must get a victory at any cost in spiritual war thinking about Jesus Christ shed precious blood for you.

Meanwhile, from 10 am on May 29 there were 120 of pastors and their wives gathering together and they listened sincerely to the word of God proclaimed by Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon

■The Conference in Atlanta (Sep 24~26)

The United Presbyterian Church invited Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon and held the Mizpah Spiritual awakening Assembly from Sep 24 at 8pm for three days. Seminar for pastors and mission workers was held in the morning and for church members in the evening.

The conference began on Tuesday night. About 1,500 of members packed in the main chapel and listened attentively to the message from Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon while the others listened sitting on spare chairs even in the isles and  in the community hall.

Around 400 pastors listened to the word of God in two rounds of seminar on Wednesday and Thursday in the morning.  At the seminar, Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon appealed to Pastors and mission workers as follows: Pastors have to deliver the sermon to the believers so that they can have life, hope and dream at church. Pastor is also a believer. As a believer, you have to be faithful and holy to the Lord. Living wholesomely, you should show the church members the way to be faithful to the Lord.

■The Conference in Delhi and Nagaland, India (Oct. 2nd~7th)

There was a one day conference In Delhi on Oct.2. It was the first meeting in India. Delhi is close to New Delhi, Capital of India, Culture in Delhi is very traditional and it is called the city of religion because there are lots of religions like Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism. Christianity shows below 1%. It’s very poor.

The conference was held on National holiday. Also many events happened outside. Nevertheless, about 20 pastors and 400 church members attended and shared the grace of God.

The Indians speak in many languages. During the seminar, two languages needed to be interpreted. Korean was interpreted into English and English into Hindi.

Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon said “lots of people are living a wild life without knowing that they are heading for the hell. What a pity! I’m very sorry about that so I am going around the world preaching gospel saying “repent” and trying to let them know that there are definitely the Heaven and the hell. Though I am a Korean   who has different cultures but I am telling you the good news about Jesus Christ.  Therefore, you who believed in Jesus first shouldn’t hesitate to evangelize Indian, your own brothers and sisters.”

The bible says “whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. He kept on saying, “. Likewise, Let us preach good news about Jesus with heart of the Lord having hopes that none of all shall perish but go to the heaven. 

The following conference was held in Agricultural Expo Complex in Dimapur,   Nagaland for four times from Oct 4(Fri) to 6(Sun) titled “the Holy Spirit festival    conference”.  After that, on Oct 7, he gave two lectures at MI (Mission International), an international theological school, in the respond to the request of the principal.

 There were about 7,000 people gathered together for three days. Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon preached the essence of the gospel with ease and strength.

Although most of people of Nagaland are Christians, they never experienced to meet Jesus in personal as well as pastors. That was why his messages appealed to them and brought about the repentance in their minds.

During the conference, the pastors started to be impressed by the voice of speaker and there was a growing realization that changes must be made. They repented their sins that they were unconcerned about sin and didn’t take the spiritual care of church members sitting idly

■The conference in Bethlehem, Israel(Nov. 8th~10th)

The Muslim country where they announce through a loud speaker to pray to Allah every day at 4 o’clock in the morning, where there are battles and conflicts constantly. In this dangerous country, a historic event occurred. That was Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon and his company preached good news about Jesus to thousands of Arabians at the risk of life.

 For three straight years, God has been holding conferences by using Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon and Yonsei central Baptist Church. This year, the conference was thrown in Bethlehem from Nov 8(Fri) to 10(Sun) every night. Bethlehem was the place where Jesus was born. No Jews is there but the Palestinians live in Bethlehem where there terror could be happened anytime. It is impossible that you can evangelize in that area if you don’t risk your life. 

In spite of that, the reason why Yonsei Central Baptist has held the conference there for three years is there are lots of lost souls who have no chance to hear the gospel.

On Nov 8(Fri), Christian pilgrims with Yonsei Central Baptist Church members arrived first at the meeting place.

 About 1,300 Arabs crowded in the place where the most number of people can be seated in Bethlehem. This conference was organized by Naim Coury who is a senior Pastor of Bethlehem First Baptist Church. He invited Pastor Yoon Suk-Jeon to preach at this evangelical meeting. It was an unparalleled conference in history in this area. For three days, about 5,000 people attended and a lot of people were healed from diseases. On the last day, they gave testimony and glorified GOD. It was time to reveal the Living God who performed miracles and wonders while gospel was said to Arabs who lived as a Muslim in their life time.  

We have to pray with hope that the gospel planted in barren field for three years could bear fruits and be a precious fruit of life. We have desire that the conference will be continually held and revival comes upon the area and the whole nation without limitation.

■The conference in Brazil (Nov. 27th~ Dec .4th)

God accomplished mission work around the world last year. He also planned to do His work in Brazil this year and used Yonsei Central Baptist Church. Last year, Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon was invited to preach at the conference in Santarem near Amazon in the North of Brazil. This year, the conference was held in Curitiba and Marilia from Nov 27 to Dec 4. The conference lasted two weeks.  On Nov 25(Mon), Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon and mission team arrived at Brazil on the other side of the Earth by plane after a 30 hour flight. On arriving, we felt hot tropical climate. Not only was the weather hot, but the shouting of pastors and church embers expecting conference was hot in Curitiba and Marilia.   

About 100 Brazilian pastors among them attended the seminar for pastors at Hindolsan Retreat Center in Korea and received the grace of God in 2012 and 2013. They were encouraged by the word of God.  They had been taking the spiritual care of a congregation of the church with mighty power of God.

They were totally changed in their ministry and have had great success. So the other pastors was longing for the conference led by Pastor Yoon Seok-Jeon. The pastors who already shared the grace of God at Hindolsan Retreat Center also attended at the conference in Curitiba and Marilia by driving a car thousands of kilometers for days.

 While 14 times of sermon was delivered in Curitiba and Marilia, tens of thousands of people including pastors listened eagerly to the word of God sharing the grace of God. An unscheduled seminar was held for pastors. Likewise, the conference was filled with excitement throughout the conference.

The Marilia local news papers and TV network hit the headlines the conference day after day. Only God knows how many people believed in Jesus Christ through this coverage.

Yonsei Central Baptist Church decided to build two churches. We presented building cost to Domingus, Senior Pastor of first Baptist church of Marilia. When building cost was presented, senior pastor and his wife who will be in charge of Yonsei Central Baptist Church of Brazil were deeply moved to tears. They also resolved to build the church with joy and truth by praying to God.

In according to the request of Holy Spirit, we were completely obedient. The Holy Spirit moved us to contribute for the new church building. We are just thankful that He keeps using us to deliver the gospel to all over the world.
 Church motto is this, “as long as there are unbelievers in the world, we keep planting”. Keep the motto in mind and let us save the lost souls with passion for salvation. It’s time to prompt us to pray for the gospel to be delivered to all nations.
