A Proposal for effective Korean methodist missions in the Philippines

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this project, the researcher reviewed the difficulties, which the Korean missionaries experienced as missionaries in the Philippines, where the researcher served. Based on his experience, he proposed a training program and mission strategies, which would prevent future missionaries from making the similar mistakes. In Chapter Two, the biblical, theological and historical backgrounds of mission are studied and similar literature and mission theories are reviewed in Chapter Three. In Chapter Four the researcher states methodologies, which he uses in this project. In Chapter Five, he states the results that he gathered through the questionnaire.
In Chapter Six, the results are interpreted and the general conclusion of this project is stated. If the difficulties, which the missionaries have in the mission fields, are continually studied, it might be a great help in establishing better mission strategies.
