In 1884 Korean Church was established by Koreans in constant efforts of foreign missionaries ministering especially at Chefoo, Santung of China. In 1912 Korean Church decided to send missionaries to RaiYang(來陽), Santung of China. After 1945, Korean Church has tried to send missionaries for China, but it was not easy by 1992 because of following several reasons: a. Chinese Government became communist and has persecuted Christians after that. Especially the government tried to perish Christians during 1968-1978 using The Red Guards. b. Chinese Government has disliked evangelization by foreigners. c. Korean Church was under hardships because of Korean Civil War with theology arguments, and etc. Actually Korean Church has learned mission commitment from missionaries who had taught it at seminary, college, and revival meetings. Therefore Korean Church that tried to send missionaries again for Chinese. By 1992, it was not easy to dispatch missionaries to main land of China. Korean Church sent missionaries to Taiwan and Honkong instead of main land. Korean Church has also taken other ways to reach chinese, those are radio programs through FEBS and TWR, and delivering the Bibles in secret. From 1992 Korean Church changed strategy. Institutes for Chinese have been established with aid of Jonathan Chao and many books about China have been published to help Korean Christians understand China. Now it is the time that Korean Church has to change strategy again. Because there are so many sincere Christians in China. Therefore Korean Church assists China Church to set up self-theology, and hands also over the leadership of evangelization to Chinese, and become a helper for Chinese Church.
