Pastor Kim Jun-gon, the founder of Korea CCC and the first advisor to the Esther Prayer Movement,
At the National Salvation Prayer Meeting at City Hall Square on June 25, 2008.
“The biggest strategy of the devil is to keep Christians out of the streets and confine them to church buildings”, “We must go out into the streets and pray”, “We must spread street prayer meetings nationwide”,
He said , “We must no longer confine Jesus to the church.”
For the Republic of Korea, which is in crisis, the importance of 'square prayer meetings' where churches and believers pray and praise in squares and streets was emphasized.
The Seoul Unification Plaza Prayer Meeting began its first prayer meeting at the Seoul Station Plaza on October 31, 2011, following Pastor Kim Jun-gon's request.
The prayer meeting, which was started by five Christian and civic groups including North Korea Justice Solidarity, Seoul Christian Youth Association, Esther Prayer Movement, Joyous Mission, and Unification Hope Mission under the name of 'Unification Square Prayer Association', was held without a moderator and focused on prayer.
Since then, it has spread to the squares of each city, and unification plaza prayer meetings for the salvation of North Korea and unification of the gospel are being held all over the world. It is held in 48 major cities across the country, from Seoul to Jeju Island, and in 7 overseas countries, including New Zealand, Canada, the Philippines, Japan, Israel, the United States, and Colombia.
The union said , “The reason God spread the Unification Plaza Prayer Meeting like this is because the believers did not stop the Unification Plaza Prayer Meeting ‘whether it rains or snows, holidays, or until the day of unification’ for the souls of North Korea.” We are continuing to hold prayer meetings for the salvation of North Korea and gospel unification until the day of unification.
Professor Lee Yong-hee of the Esther Prayer Movement serves as the overall coordinator.
