On Sunday, at the memorial service for American conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Reverend Rob McCoy reflected on his recent trip to South Korea with Kirk. McCoy informed the attendees that while they were raiding churches and imprisoning pastors, Kirk stood by persecuted Christians. He also delivered speeches to young people who now take to the streets across the country chanting “I am Charlie Kirk” in support of freedom.
Following Kirk’s assassination, the streets of South Korea were packed with his supporters. Videos showed them waving American and South Korean flags, chanting “We are Charlie Kirk,” and holding signs with slogans like “Chinese visa-waiver = security threat.”
McCoy, known as “Charlie’s pastor,” is the co-chair of “Turning Point Faith” based in California, an affiliate organization of “Turning Point USA,” a conservative group founded by Kirk. It primarily targets the Christian community, especially churches and pastors, aiming to blend conservative values with Christian faith.
On Sunday, at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, after performances by Christian artists, McCoy delivered the opening remarks at Kirk’s memorial service.
Since Kirk’s assassination, McCoy has been a constant presence by the Kirk family’s side.
During his address on Sunday, McCoy urged attendees to embrace faith in God and to act upon their beliefs.
