Spiritual Landscape in Korea

South Korea has a deeply rooted spiritual heritage, historically influenced by Buddhism and shamanism. In recent decades, Christianity has grown significantly, with about 20 per cent of the population now identifying as Christian. 

Despite this growth, the Korean Church faces challenges. An ageing church population and declining youth attendance have raised urgent questions about the next generation. Early morning prayer remains a distinctive feature of Korean Christian practice, but revitalising youth engagement is a pressing need. 

Communities Where Christ is Least Known 

  • Migrant populations 
  • Foreign University students 
  • The B community 
  • Millennial and Gen Z generations

  • For God’s blessings upon partner organisations serving Community B, so their ministries may bring fruit and joy to him and the people
