About

We Are

True Worshipers 12 is a worship ministry whose calling is to restore worship and to reignite the power of the Gospel in more than 6,000 Korean immigrant churches among 7 million Korean diasporas all around the world.

The origin of the ministry started by a worship pastor Ghilho Choo who was called to not only give monetary things but also “tithing of ministry” after experiencing a revival at Sarang church in Southern California in 1999-2002 for three years. From there, he started serving unreached Korean immigrant churches in the states.

Since 2003, True Worshipers 12 has gathered worship leaders and musicians in Virginia and Maryland, USA, and started touring with a new vision of “local churches, immigrant churches, and churches around the world.”

The ministry name, True Worshipers 12, comes from John 4:23-24.

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the True Worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” [John 4:23-24]

The number, 12, symbolizes twelve disciples serving the nations and churches like the twelve tribes. Also, it has the meaning of pioneering worship communities in 12 different cities.

True Worshipers 12 is a ministry that serves each immigrant church with the spirit, excellence, and professionalism. In worship, God heals and restores with the power of the Spirit. Also, a mini-concert (classic, pop, and jazz) and testimonies are shared to testify God’s grace.

True Worshipers 12 has been serving in Northern America touring over 300 cities since 2009. There are 170 worship ministers and they are mostly from prestigious music schools such as Juilliard, Royal Academy of Music, Manhattan, NEC, Indiana, and Peabody for classical and Berkelee, UNT, Canada Hamburg, LA MI for jazz.

Currently, 170 people are in network serving ministries in over 9 nations and 20 cities in America, Canada, Korea, Japan, Argentina, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, and Jordan.

Every year, we are ministering to 10,000 diaspora people centered in the United States and Korea. In the midst of that, we experience the power of the Gospel, healing, and the Holy Spirit. Most importantly, there is a miracle of re-building David’s tent restoring the presence and glory of God.
