Managing cell groups can be a challenge, especially if you are the pastor of the largest church in the world.

David Yonggi Cho is pastor of the largest Protestant church in the world, Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, Korea.  A church with 750,000 members and approximately 25,000 cell groups.

During a recent breakfast in Southern California, Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Valley Community Church, asked pastor Cho: "How have you used technology to care for the needs of everyone in such a large church - to give personal attention when you have so many thousands of people?”

Cho responds:  “We couldn’t handle the situation without computers. We computerized everything in the church - every facet!  We also make use of the Internet.”

Concerning the future growth of his church, Cho says, “The next generation IS the Internet! Use the Internet - it is better…I have already announced to my people and ministers that the next step is to go into total cyberspace ministry because it is a real waste of money to build larger buildings.”

I was so excited reading this.  My immediate reaction was to simply get Pastor Cho on the phone and say, “We’ve got exactly what you are looking for.”  But, I don’t know how to get in touch with him.  Maybe someday.

I believe what we’ve got is the future in cell church software, especially with all the productivity tools that will be added.  We are also working on a way to translate our software in different languages.

It makes a lot of sense.  Cyberspace is where people are going.  So, why not take ministry to where millions of people are?
