Description
Summary:The missionary movement in Korea is growing steadily in terms of the number of missionaries. At the end of December 2016, a total of 21,075 Korean missionaries (1.95 percent more than a year previously) were working under 156 mission agencies in 153 countries. For the most part, Korean missionaries lack significant knowledge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, but the missionaries who are familiar with it typically understand that its impact on missionary service will be profound. For some, it is an opportunity; for others, a threat—which one, depending on how well missionaries and Christian workers are prepared for it.
