The biggest megachurch on Earth is facing a crisis of evangelism

The scene inside the main sanctuary of the Full Gospel Church is impressive. There are seats for about 15,000 worshippers. Giant video screens carry simultaneous translations of parts of the service in Chinese, Japanese and English. Audio headsets are available with translations from the original Korean into numerous other languages. The choir has about 120 vocalists decked out in white robes and backed up by a full orchestra. 

Talking with members of the congregation on the main steps outside of the church, several people echo a sense of awe. They say they can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit at Full Gospel Church, and that’s what keeps them coming back. 

At certain times during the service, people in the pews close their eyes, raise up their hands and even speak in tongues, creating a real revival atmosphere.

I still think Texas is the megachurch capitol of the world.

You should see this guy Rev Hagee....he's a big ole fat televangelist right of central casting. I have to drive by his church and they have his butt ugly picture on the billboard. Gross....
