초록
In the age of globalization, Korea has continued to open its door to people from diverse cultures. For the Korean church, the opportunities for cross-cultural ministries continue to emerge and the necessity to evangelize and edify such congregations into faith maturity has become an important agenda. Even though Korea has been culturally homogeneous, small to middle size cross-cultural ministries are cropping up particularly in large cities where cultural diversity is in the increase. With the growing number of foreigners studying, working or married in Korea, the potential for more cross-cultural ministries remains huge. Consequently, due to cultural differences, cross-cultural ministries or otherwise referred to as international ministries experience culture related challenges. This paper surveys the nature of cross-cultural ministries in Busan (Korea’s second biggest city) and the necessity for cultural competence as a significant element in effective cross-cultural ministries.
Abstract
In the age of globalization, Korea has continued to open its door to people from diverse cultures. For the Korean church, the opportunities for cross-cultural ministries continue to emerge and the necessity to evangelize and edify such congregations into faith maturity has become an important agenda. Even though Korea has been culturally homogeneous, small to middle size cross-cultural ministries are cropping up particularly in large cities where cultural diversity is in the increase. With the growing number of foreigners studying, working or married in Korea, the potential for more cross-cultural ministries remains huge. Consequently, due to cultural differences, cross-cultural ministries or otherwise referred to as international ministries experience culture related challenges. This paper surveys the nature of cross-cultural ministries in Busan (Korea’s second biggest city) and the necessity for cultural competence as a significant element in effective cross-cultural ministries.
