ABOUT THE EDITORS:

Wonsuk Ma is Distinguished Professor of Global Christianity and Executive Director of the Center for Spirit-Empowered Research, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA

Robert p Menzies is the Director of the Asian Center for Pentecostal Theology. He has lived in Southwest China for almost three decades and taught at Bible schools and seminaries in over a dozen nations.

This book celebrates the life and ministry of Rev Dr Younghoon Lee, Senior Pastor of Yoido Full Gospel Church, Seoul, Korea. Two dozen international scholars, who are also close friends of Lee, contributed their studies. In view of his life-long commitment and ministerial practice, this book takes up the work of the Holy Spirit in spirituality and leadership. Thus, the book has two parts: The Holy Spirit and Spirituality and The Holy Spirit and Leadership.

As a pastor, evangelist, global Christian statesman, and scholar, Dr Lee has been a leading voice of dynamic Christianity in the global South. He is full of the Holy Spirit, rooted in the life-giving ministry of Jesus, and passionate about reaching the world with the gospel.
Rev Dr William M. Wilson, President, Oral Roberts University Chair, Empowered21 and the Pentecostal World Fellowship

It is an honor to celebrate the life, ministry and continuing legacy of one of the greatest Christian leaders of our time, Dr Younghon Lee of Yoido Church. We celebrate him as a humble and prayerful servant of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Rev Dr Casely Baiden Essamuah, Secretary, Global Christian Forum

It is my great honour to join the Church around the world in celebrating the life and ministry of Rev Dr Younghoon Lee… [His] commitment to our common apostolic faith and unity in Christ has helped reshape the ecumenical landscape in Korea, and around the world.
Rev Prof Dr Jerry Pillay, General Secretary, World Council of Churches

Dr Younghoon Lee, thank you for contributing with your leadership to greater engagement of Pentecostal communities around the world in ecumenical relations. The Catholic Charismatic Renewal can rightly attest to having received spiritual benefits from the exchanges with the Yoido Full Gospel Church of Seoul.
Prof Matteo Calisi, Founder and President of United in Christ International, Former President Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities
