Pastor Ryu Kwang Su · July 29, 2025 · BEXCO, Busan, Korea
Welcome to all of our evangelists who have come from across the nation and the world. Have you ever been to where the 5,000 tribes live? They don’t even wear shoes. There’s no water. Some places are so hot that even the grass withers and dies. They can’t even spend one dollar a month. That’s why you can’t go to them. If you did, you’d die in three days. These places are completely engulfed in darkness. Every kind of problem originates there. One-third of these 5,000 tribes are in Africa. Another third are in South America. The remaining third is in Southeast Asia. That’s why places like Vanuatu, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands are so important.
Today, at this conference, you must begin with one question: Christ has commanded us to evangelize the world—then where am I in that plan? You must ask this question. Also, what kind of answer will I receive this time? You must resolve. Joseph’s brothers, who only cared about food, could not receive any answer. At that time, Joseph resolved world evangelization, and all the answers naturally followed. You must hold on to that.
King Saul only knew how to win battles. That’s why he died while fighting. But David, during that same time, resolved to raise 1,000 bartizans and the global bartizan, and to prepare for the temple. Let me give you one more example. Israel had become a colony of Rome. Yet the Jews thought they had succeeded by securing their position. They mistook what was not a blessing for a blessing. At that time, Paul was the one who gave everything up and came out. That’s why I always ask short questions wherever I go.
And something amazing happened. When I entered the seminary, I asked a question: “Do I have to become a pastor too? Do I have to attend seminary?” My mother kept telling me to become a pastor—should I? I asked that question, and through it, I came to understand what evangelism truly is. Wherever I go, I ask: “What is my evangelism?” You must ask that question. I’ve seen countless, indescribable answers.
On a flight returning from the U.S., I asked a question. In America, they were constantly fighting over right and wrong, arguing about whose fault it was. I realized then how difficult things were. The word I held onto at that moment was Isaiah 6:13. Isaiah said, “Here am I. Send me.” And God said, “The holy seed is the stump.” He was talking about the remnant. Holding onto that covenant, I’ve come to this 28th World Remnant Conference.
I looked at a monitor and resolved. That was Bill Gates. He conquered the world. You must resolve. A person went to someone’s house, saw an organ, and resolved. Who was that? Handel. You must resolve.
So, at this Remnant Conference, just ask yourself: “What covenant will I hold onto and take with me?” You only need to ask a short question. Even during the remaining time today, just ask a short question. A few years later, you’ll be amazed.
I went to Gyeonggi Province and asked: “How should I evangelize here?” The answer: “I must train evangelists.” That became what is now Immanuel Seoul Church. I went to Deokpyeong in Gyeonggi Province and asked: “How should I evangelize here?” God gave us the RUTC training center in the Deokpyeong region.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, that a significant question would begin in you through this event. Let us give glory to God for our gathering. Thank you.
