Quality vs quantity? Modern day Korean cross-cultural missions. Feat. Henry Lee (Mission Korea)
Manage episode 300373654 series 2962816
In the studio today, we have Pastor Henry Lee from Korea. He is a father, an avid cyclist, director of Frontiers Korea and chair of Mission Korea. Despite having studied, married and served as mission pastor in America, Pastor Lee heeded God’s calling for him to return to his homeland, Korea to commence mission mobilization within the young people.
He shares how mission mobilization came about in the history of Korea, that the gospel was indigenous to Korea before missionaries came into the country. Mission-Korea conferences and the Campus Crusade have seen an exponential increase in college students giving their lives to God and willing to be sent overseas for missions. However, modern day Korea has seen a reduction in sending of missionaries. Pastor Lee discusses how more work is to be done to ensure the ‘quality’ of missionaries sent out, emphasizing cross-cultural missions to be likened to taking on the local persons’ identity and culture rather than enforcing our own ways on others.
As Christ’s followers, we hear of this again and again, but it is never enough to emphasize the three fundamentals - knowing the love of God, devoting to the word of God, spending time in prayer.
