Orlando Central Korean Church Launches Digital Prayer Campaignto Spread Hope in Community

Orlando Central Korean Church launched a Digital Prayer Campaign to draw community members in pictures and verse. Sung Joon “Paul” Min (top left) serves as associate pastor.

Orlando Central Korean Church launched a Digital Prayer Campaign to bring hope to the local community by utilizing social media platforms to reach people within a 10-mile radius. The approach was simple: ads were created to invite people to request prayer using Meta’s Messenger system to engage personally with each respondent.

The campaign results have been humbling just in the first six weeks. Prayer ads have been shown more than 40,000 times to 11,323 individuals, with 216 people reaching out for prayer. More than 140 people have been prayed for, and meaningful interactions have occurred with more than 100 people. There has been at least one church visitor, as well as some in-person meetings. Many of these individuals shared struggles in areas such as family, health, jobs, and finances — needs the church members were previously unaware of, in spite of living in this community for decades. Throughout the campaign, the Holy Spirit has worked powerfully, even through digital platforms.

Prayer has been central to this ministry, and its impact on the church has been remarkable. Members have expressed how praying for others has drawn them closer to God and made them more compassionate. As one member, Thomas Kim, said, “It’s overwhelming how many people are suffering and need our help. It makes me want to become a better person and put away my sins.”

Another member, Ken Luk, shared, “We are showing people that we are present and willing to listen. This ministry has been a huge blessing because we see that we can include ourselves in God’s work of reaching the world.”

This ministry is a reminder of Jesus’ words in Matthew 9:37: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” Many in the community are waiting for someone to reach out. Immersing themselves in evangelism has not only blessed those served, but has also transformed the church family. If a small church can experience such a powerful movement of the Holy Spirit, so can others. May this testimony rekindle passion in many for reaching the unreached.
