A Strategy for Nomad Missions Utilizing Church Music.- Centered on Mongolia -

Abstract

Mongolia is a blessed country, from AD635 the Gospel has been spread, the quickening period(AD1206-AD1368) when the great task of mission was involuntary, crossing the restoration period(AD1798-AD1923), and currently the glory days(AD1990-AD2010). God has sent Nestorian missionaries in the early days, Catholic missionaries in the middle, and protestant missionaries nowadays to plant Churches, medication, documentation, education, and NGO ministry not only to spread the Gospel in the land, but also to assign the great task of global mission work. In 1990 when there was not even one christian in the land of Mongolia, 20 years past, over 450 Churches were found, and more than 40 thousand christians believe in God. But Mongolia even though they were blessed, they also had the time of abyss. As the history of mission work tells us, Mongolia lost it's two opportunities to follow the great task that God has prepared for them. Mongolian Churches should be listening to the message that God is sending, the message that tells them to protect this revival against the abyss they were in. Even though, I'm thankful for their ethnicity of love towards music and that we have plenty of professors and missionaries to teach them. If the Korean missionaries abandon their apathy and prejudice towards Church Music, and abandon a Church or a denomination centered into a unified one community, and use music as a tool to help the Mongolian Churches, God will show us much great grace and will be largely glorified through Korean missionaries and Mongolian Churches. Korean missionaries must remember this and put their efforts and passion not on the growth of the outside, but in the inside teaching liturgy and Church Music theology to Mongolian Churches, so that they might worship God with the proper concept. Therefore, the writer, through this research, suggests two methods in changing the catharsis of obtaining with strength into serving and giving, alteration of dedication through worship and preaching, and an alliance between the Korean missionaries that are currently in utter disruption. First, Training Program for Nomadic Church Leaders. Second, Producing Music Documents for Mongolian Music Leaders. Third, Characterizing Education Program for Worship and Church Music. Music is the biggest gift that God has given to Mongolia, and also it is a outstanding resource for God's mission. Ministers train and work hard to find local ministers for succession, as this missionaries should study the upright Church Music and liturgy for the growth of the Church within God's presence, and not only missionary himself but also he should put in effort and passion in training Church Music leaders with true faith.
