The Korean Mission Movement

History and Lessons of the Korean Church
South Korea is widely recognized as one of the most important mission forces in the contemporary period. During the recent Fourth Lausanne Congress, an evening session was devoted to the history of the Korean church and lessons that can be learned from it.3 Many participants were amazed to learn about how God has transformed this small, isolated country once devastated by war and poverty into an economically powerful, culturally influential nation that is the second largest missionary-sending country. In particular, the delegates from the Majority World became greatly encouraged to find the actual historical example that manifests the power of the gospel to transform both individuals and society. If God has done this marvelous work in one country, he can surely do the same thing in other parts of the world.
