아프리카 전문인 선교의 지속 가능성과 그 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study sustainable measures for African professional missions. Professional missions are often called tentmaker missions, or merciful missions, and in fact, this word comes from the occupation created by Paul's tent in Acts 18:3. At that time, he was an apostle who delivered the gospel, but Paul served with a job making a tent. As such, professional missions with their own professional jobs and engaged in missionary work are emerging as the most effective mission strategy for modern missions. From this point of view, African professional missions in the field of mission practice will be a major mission strategy in the 21st century. With the concentrated ministries of numerous missionaries sent around the world, Korean churches are mainly church development, welfare missions, campus missions, educational missions, medical missions, and child and youth missions. There may still be a misunderstanding of professional missions, but I think considerable development has been made through the basis of the missionary theological theory that supports professional missions in traditional missions today. As an alternative to missionary work in the 21st century, professional missionary work, which has emerged as an alternative to missionary work in the 21st century, is one of the topics that have recently been actively studied not only in international missionary organizations but also in the Lausanne Convention, and Korean churches in particular, and has become the subject of its interest. Accordingly, the cognitive, historical, and missionary dimensions were examined through a brief full understanding of Africa. Above all, by referring to the professional missionary work that emerged from the Old and Old Bible, the professional missionary work that emerged from Paul, and the professional missionary work that emerged from church history, the plan for the sustainability of African professional missionary work was presented as follows. The first is the sustainability of professional missionary work through the Lausanne movement. The second is the sustainability of professional missionary work through universal missionary work. Finally, the third suggested the sustainability of missionary work for lay people through Korean churches. The African continent, called the golden fishing ground for professional missionary work, is the closest place to see the value of the kingdom of God and the ability of the gospel. In their various situations, race, culture, language, and tribe exist, and Africa, where we can witness the vivid history and miracles of the kingdom of God, should be the site of professional missionary work for a better future as the front line of God's mission. Through this, I hope that missionaries and missionary experts who practice professional missionary work at the mission site of African missionary work, and the Korean church will be able to serve without conflict of theology.
