Abstract
Since reformation begin the pietism first time with practice of social welfare and abroad mission in the protestant churches. Of course the Reformer as Luther, Zwingli and Calvin, was interested in social welfare and mission and put it into practice. But the Halle pietism was successful in social welfare and abroad mission conducted by A. H. Francke. Thereby A. H. Francke played an important role in process and development of Halle pietism.
The first sign of Halle pietism is studies of Word of God and repentance of A. H. Francke in 1687 in Liineburg. Through this it is clear that the Word of God shows always the most important way to ministry. As M. Schmidt said, the goal of the Halle pietism is “transformation of world through transformation of man(Weltverwandlung durch die Menschenverwandlung).’,Therefore the transformation of man should take an initiative for the purpose of the transformation of the world. From this it follows mission, education and social welfare. Like A. H. Francke Youngsan will transform world through the Word of God. Especially Youngsan uses his own methods to evangelize through the Fivefold Gospel(regeneration,sanctification, healing of God, second coming of Christ and blessing). For Youngsan is the Word of God the basis of the transformation of world. Without the Word of God it is unthinkable, the world to transform. From this man can work in mission, education and social welfare.
For two pastors, Francke and Youngsan, begin their works in difficult situation. When these two began their ministry, the member of these two churches had a little hope and was very poor. Under like this situation built these two a Christian center in the whole world. For these two gospel, the Word of God, has always relationship with good works, should worldwide extend. Also these two have firmly faith to Jesus Christ. Through this we could find a same type of ministry by these two pastors though a difference of time between three centuries.

Abstract
This essay deals with the social spirituality in Youngsan’s ministry even though his work has been known as an outstanding spiritual and pastoral ministry in a most distinguished and genius way. Actually his social work was also a remarkable one but was hidden by his renowned work of the church growth. This essay tries to reveal and evaluate his social spirituality in relation with contemporary evangelical ecclesiology for an application of his social spirituality to the future ministry.
His theological presupposition on the relationship between the church and society is a type of Christ as a transformer of culture in Richard Niebuhr s types of Christ and Culture. One of the conspicuous aspects in his social work is that he emphasizes the prophetic function of the church with a strong voice, specially during the President Chun’ s regime of political oppression in 1980 s in Korea. It is an uncommon social spirituality in the tradition of pentecostal-charismatic churches.
Youngsan’s social spirituality is like neither an activity of liberation- minjung theology nor social gospel movement. His social ministry has neither affinity with political theology nor related with any contemporary applied theologies. His social ministry is primarily a traditional Christian social work such as helping the poor, alienated, handicapped, and imprisoned people. What this essay suggest is that Youngsan’s social spirituality could be effective as a model for the future evangelical church ministry in the postmodern world.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify and explain the fundamental and underlying issue of the theology of Youngsan pastor. Yonggi Cho. It is to look at the theology of Youngsan through the lens of ‘happiness’
Interestingly, Youngsan have preached so many sermons and written no less treatises and books directly and indirectly as to how to live happily here and hereafter. It is not too much to say that his masterpieces, “Fivefold Gospel and Threefold of Blessing” and “The Fourth Dimension Spirituality” are focused on the true happiness of those who are spiritually and physically suffering from uncountable evils in this life. Also it is no overstatement to say that a great number of his sermons have been formulated on the idea of happiness since the early period of his ministry. Is it too much to say that he has always made efforts to make those who are unhappy happy through his life-time ministry and works. This paper invites our attention to how happiness underlies Youngsan’ s theology as a great master of ‘Christian hedonism’.

Abstract
In dealing with Dn Cho’s doctrine of social salvation, we must be initially and definitely able to define the word, “salvation”, in a right contest and perspective in contrast to a similar word, “charity”, that seems to be used in place of the word, salvation, in the research.
“Salvation” and “charity” in the first hand may connote similar ideas, but these two words have totally different meanings in which enormous diastasis and hiatus exist. Particularly, in light of theological and doctrinal matters, the difference between the two words cannot be overlooked. As compare and contrast the meanings of the two words, we can have a better prospect for and direction of research in regard to Dr. Cho’s theology of social salvation. It is a pity that most of the research works regarding Dr. Cho’s theology of social salvation so far tend to refer to the doctrine of charity work apart from the presence of the Word of God. In the midst of the current trend of the research, a right direction and a new dimension of interpretation are urgently required that Dr. Cho’s theology of social salvation would be rightly introduced and measured along with the Word. The alternative way of reconciling Dr. Cho’s doctrine of the Word with various forms of social participation can be found in the complementary relation between faith and act, the 4th dimensional and the 3rd dimensional, divine act and human act. In other words, social salvation can be carried out only along with Christians’ preaching of the Gospel through which each individual hears God’s Word and know His will that eventually brings about one’s total transformation of being in God’s given creaturely realms that starts from here to eternity and beyond!

Abstract
This article is intended to examine the issue of sharing love and happiness as a part of social salvation. This subject has been expressed in Deut. 15:1-11 and in Youngsan’s sermons and writings. This paper purports to search the grounds of sharing love and happiness in the above biblical text through exegetical study, to examine the relationship between the text and Youngsan’s thought and to confirm the merits of his idea.
After studying Deut. 15:1-11 through exegetical method, we can find God is good and He doesn’t want there are the poor in His people. God himself orders the relatively rich to care and support the poor with financial release and loaning. God wants the rich to react against the problem of ‘poverty’ in a faith community with spontaneous acts. God promises many abundant blessings to the obedient of His order. But Deut. 15:1-11 considers those who not follow His direction as sinners to be cursed. In sum, this text proclaims the rich has the responsibility to give some financial supports to the poor namely to share love and happiness with the poor so that they bring God’ s blessing to his community.
Proclaiming the ‘Holistic Salvation’ through the ‘Threefold Blessing’, Rev. Yonggi Cho’s theology has been done distinguished services to show the multi-dimensioned aspects of salvation. He insists that God is the savior of not only human soul, but also human body and environment. Especially because he found “poverty” doesn’t appear a blessing, he has endeavored to improve the lives of believers. Furthermore, in understanding the salvation of the environment through Jesus’ redemption, Youngsan didn’t limit his thought to believer s individual salvation, but has presented sharing love and happiness movement a solution to many social problems like poverty, homelessness, heart disease etc. Youngsan’s blessing pursues not egoistic, individual and shamanic blessing, but the blessing related to sharing love and happiness which has its root in the Bible. His blessing theory depends upon God s goodness who gave His only son, Jesus Christ to give love and blessing to believers.
For example recently Youngsan founded “The Sharing Love and Happiness Foundation” and has given many support to the old, the weak, the crippled through that foundation. He has proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus that saves all humankind from sin, poverty, disease, frustration, and has always interested in social problems. Nowadays he does his best to make his opinion be a practical gopsel to the poor and the weak. This is the way Deut. 15:1-11 shows and Youngsan goes.

Abstract
This paper is to propose the theological implication of Youngsan Yonggi Cho’s “theology of the service and subdivision”. The work and ministry of Youngsan Yonggi Cho and the Yoido Full Gospel Church(YFGC) are well known all over the world. The attempt to explore the theological implication of Youngsan Yonggi Cho’s thought of ministry would be an important theological work. Thus I try to concentrate on those parts of Youngsan’s writings and sermons that deal with the relationship between the context of Korea and himself. So this study starts from 2005, when Youngsan had a paradigm shift about comprehension of cosmos, ending in 2008, when he established the ‘Love and happiness subdivision business’.
In this paper I study Youngsan’s theology of “the love and happiness subdivision business’’. YFGC has various missionary organizations, such as voluntary agencies, broadcasting systems, and Yongsan has carried out distinguished works in diverse domains. The life of practicing social love comes from total commitment to the work of the Holy Spirit, continual access to the Lord through praying, speaking in tongues and recognition of it through the Cross meaning the union with Jesus Christ and will be fulfilled through practical love and happiness subdivision.
I asserted that “the love and happiness subdivision” is important for the sake of church renewal and mission ministry and purification of society. It is also beneficial because it will give comfort and rewards, glory to God, and will strengthen faith.
In conclusion, I summarize and suggest the prospect of the study. Youngsan’s thought of ministry was greatly influenced by the thought, theology, and ministry of the pentecostal missionaries. However, Youngsan’s theology surpasses them by the Youngsan’s originality and superiority. God's Word is available as a mean of this life and so one should live a life of the faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ and complete self-denial. Above all this paper will contribute to understanding the Youngsan’s “theology of the service and subdivision” and a extension of his ministry.
