- CHC'S STATEMENT REGARDING NEWS ARTICLE ON REV. DR. YONGGI CHO
-
Dear Members/Attendees of City Harvest Church,
We refer to the Straits Times article on 22 September 2011 relating to Rev. Dr. Yonggi Cho and the alleged misappropriation of church funds.
From the report, Dr. Cho has categorically denied the allegations and attributed them to "a smear campaign by a very small group of people in [the] church". The report states that a group of 29 elders in his church is accusing Dr. Cho of the alleged wrongdoing. Yoido Full Gospel Church has more than 800 elders in total.
At present, reliable sources in South Korea have indicated to us that these accusations remain as a civil complaint taken up against Dr. Cho. Let us trust in the due process of the law, and bear in mind that any man is innocent until proven guilty.
Dr. Cho has served God faithfully and tirelessly over more than 50 years of ministry, and the fruit of his labour for the kingdom of God is undeniable. As brothers and sisters in the faith, let's continue to uphold him with our love and intercession during this period, praying that this situation will be resolved quickly as the Lord wills.
