The Reverend Bang Seok Lee, the international vice-president of KMA, was appointed as the president of WPS (World Prayer Summit). It’s not usual for Korean pastor to be the president of the organization, of which American white pastors are mainstream.
WPS, which was founded in 1982, is a large organization consisting of about fifty thousand white pastors in the whole United States, including influential pastors like Billy Graham, Pat Roberson (the founder and chairman of CBN), Richard Halverson (former Chaplain of the United States Senate), Jack Hayford (senior pastor of The Church On The Way).
However the bigger reason this organization is attracting attention is that it can influence U.S. politics through sixty million evangelicals and eighty million Catholics of America. Actually the assessment was made that behind Bush’s election, there was the power of U.S. evangelicals, who officially supported candidate Bush, running the fast prayer campaign last U.S. presidential election
