Title:
Pastor Kim Ik Du with Korean Christians.
Description:
Pastor Kim Ik Du with Korean Christians. Pastor Kim is here shown with a group from some church where he had been holding evangelistic meetings. This might have been anywhere in the Korean Peninsula. Mr. Kim was moderator of the General Assembly in 1920. From then on till World War II, he was probably the outstanding man in the Korean Presbyterian Church. The pastor of an important church - the South Gate Church in Seoul - his real influence was as an evangelist. During the twenties and thirties he was in constant demand from all parts of Korea to lead evangelistic meetings. At daybreak prayer meetings, he prayed for the sick + laid hands upon them. This became a dominant characteristic of his meetings. There were times when the healing emphasis was in danger of overshadowing the evangelistic emphasis which he always tried to maintain. After WWII, he stayed on in Hwanghae Province under the Communists. After the Inchon landing by MacArthur when the Communists were about to retreat North, one of their last acts was to shoot Pastor Kim.
