The history of this denomination goes back to the ’60s. In 1964 Pastors Lee Eun-Kyu, Kim Guk-In, and Choi Soo-Haeng set up the denomination SaeKye-BokUm (= World Mission) at DongWon Church in Seoul. All three came from the Presbyterian Church (SuBu), a church which later was united with HapDong-JangShin (no. 5). Without permission from the government, they opened DongWon Seminary. In the beginning the church had considerable financial difficulties, but it received help from Pastor Hosino Aizi in Japan. The government closed DongWon Seminary. As a result many congr left the denomination. To make a new start Pastors Chung Kyu-Wan, Kim Guk-In, and others started JeongRip.
