Yoido Church

Here we are at possibly the biggest church in the world! It is located in Seoul and it is called Yoido Full Gospel Church. It has a total of about 830,000 members. There are 7 services every Sunday that are translated into 16 different languages. About a quarter of a million people go there every week! Needless to say, it was packed. They preach a prosperity gospel which kind of bugged us. But, it was good as a one time experience to go there.

We had to wear headphones so we could hear the sermon translated into English. Yeah, we looked hot as you can see, lol. 

This is a view of the sanctuary from the 4th floor after the service was over and people started to clear out.

Some cool rock design on the front of the building.

Here we are. 

Here is a full view of the outside of the building. 



Here is a video during prayer time. Yeah, thats right, we took video during prayer. It was just too interesting, we had to show you! If you can look close, they are all talking out loud in korean or just making grunting sounds while bobbing back and forth and waving their hands in the air. It was very interesting to us.
