Summary of Crusades in 2006


A Year of Hope Ministry for America and Asia
Church growth continues, following Dr. Cho¢¥s pastoral philosophy


Dr. Cho¢¥s world mission work in 2006 was a year of proclaiming the gospel of hope, with an emphasis on Pentecostal spirituality. Dr. Cho¢¥s overseas crusades in 2006, organized by David Cho Evangelistic Mission (DCEM), resulted in many decisions for Christ in Japan, the United States, and in Taiwan. The year was one of aggressively spreading the Pentecostal movement around the world.
In 2006, Dr. Cho visited three countries and six cities. He preached to 100,000 people, and led about 10,000 people to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Visiting Osaka and Tokyo in Japan, the Azusa Centennial and Dallas in the United States, and Taipei in Taiwan, Dr. Cho preached the gospel of hope with Full Gospel faith based on the truth that only Jesus can provide eternal rest for humankind.
Through Dr. Cho¢¥s overseas crusades in 2006, pastors around the world have learned more about successful ministry methods revealed to Dr. Cho by the Holy Spirit. His ministry of hope has sparked revival and encouragement to pastors worldwide.
The overseas crusades in 2006 can be summarized in two categories. The first priority was to gather the fruit of souls for the kingdom of God by proclaiming Full Gospel faith, which is affirmative, positive, creative, and productive. Second, the meetings were held to give Dr. Cho¢¥s disciples and missionaries opportunities to grow and successfully carry out their ministries. It was very encouraging to see these pastors carrying out the Holy Spirit movement and the prayer movement with the central message of hope. Their ministries keep growing year by year, even though some say that Christianity has stagnated throughout the world
Rev. Tsugumichi Ohkawa of Yamato Calvary Chapel, the largest church in Japan, Rev. Hee Kong of City Harvest Church with a growing membership of 20,000 in Singapore, Rev. Mao Song Chang and Rev. Han Ye Chang of Taiwan Pastors Association, the Assemblies of God pastors of the Pentecostal Conference of North American Keralites (PCNAK) in the United States, and Rev. Kennedy of the North Church in Dallas, Texas in the United States all express that their churches have kept growing greatly influenced by the Holy Spirit and prayer.
The DCEM overseas crusades in 2006 will be remembered as meetings giving new courage and hope to comfort weary people in their daily lives.




* March 21 : 2006 Osaka Jesus Festival


Four thousand people attended the 2006 Osaka Jesus Festival with Dr. Cho held on March 21, 2006 at the Amagasaki Cultural Center. The festival was managed by the David Cho Evangelistic Mission (DCEM) and prepared by the Japan Full Gospel Association and the Nippon Revival Association (NRA), the Korean Missionary Association (KMA), and Full Gospel Osaka Church.
The Festival was filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit from the beginning and was reported as the largest gathering among Japanese protestant meetings. Four thousand people in the Amagasaki Cultural Center waved the banner of the Cross and proclaimed that Jesus is Lord in Japan.
After the Festival, Dr. Cho had dinner with 150 pastors from the Japan Full Gospel Association, the Nippon Revival Association (NRA) and the Korean Missionary Association (KMA). He encouraged them to press on toward the vision to win ten million Japanese to Jesus.
Since 1996 when the first Jesus Festival was held in Tokyo, it has been held twice a year in the center of Japan such as in Osaka and Fukuoka.

The official opening of the five-day centennial started on April 25. All the nations came together in Los Angeles under the theme, "Together Again 2006", not just to celebrate, but to ask God for another outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

* October 26~27 : 2006 Harvest Crusade with Dr. Cho in Taiwan


For the evangelization of Taiwan, a possible bridgehead for China missions, the 2006 Harvest Crusade with Dr. Cho was successfully held on October 26 and 27 for two consecutive days at National Taiwan University Sports Center.
In the crusade administrated by DCEM, it was recorded as the largest gathering of 350 churches from Taiwan, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. The crusade brought forth a miracle of 4,000 converts to the Lord.
With a total of 20,000 attendees during the two-day crusade, Dr. Cho preached on the subject, "Jesus Who Is Bearing Our Yoke," using Matthew 11:28-30 as his text, and about "The Power of the Gospel That Drives out Demons."
Rev. Mao Song Chang, committee chairman for the 2006 Harvest Crusade with Dr. Cho, said, "The special crusade was so fruitful in saving souls. The results can be compared to planting 100 churches in Taiwan, considering that the average church membership is 30~40 people in the churches in Taiwan. All the pastors who participated in preparing for the special crusade worked together in unity and will continue to fan the flame of the Holy Spirit in Taiwan."
Starting with the first crusade in January 21, 1980, Dr. Cho has now preached for eight crusades in Taiwan.
