Biography
Born in 1946 in South Pyeongan Province (now, part of North Korea), Ha studied at Konkuk University and Presbyterian College and Theological Seminary in Seoul.[1]
He brought together twelve families in 1984 to establish Onnuri Community Church. His approach was to model the church after the book of Acts,[2] in what became known as the Acts 29 Vision, in building churches and sending out missionaries. By June 2010, Onnuri had sent 1,200 missionaries and maintained a membership of 75,000.[3]
Ha Yong-jo battled liver cancer and died on August 2, 2011, in Seoul.[1][4]
