Communities where Christ is least known
New Settlers in Korea
Korea is rapidly becoming a multicultural nation, with migrants making up nearly 5% of the population. Migrants, with varied backgrounds, find it hard to adjust to a different life context in Korea. Educating their children is a challenge as the children learn, grown and integrate into different communities. Local churches have opportunities to accept, love and care for these migrants, with the hope that they will come to Christ and become ambassadors of love and peace to those who do not know Christ.
Prayers
