The purpose of the project is to restore the health and beauty of the church by careful
atudy of the missional church from a biblical go well as a situational perspective and the
examination of the case of Sekwang Church which has been able to make a concrete and practical
application to its educational ministry.
What is the purpose of the church? It would not be wrong to say that the church exists to
save souls and to carry out God's mission. God is Mission Dei, the God of missions. It is easy to
think that mission is something we must manage but that is not actually the case. God is the
principal agent who leads mission. The church and Christians must cooperate and commit to
achieve God's kingdom. This ministry cannot be accomplished by one's own strength and ability.
The church must unite as one and remember that mission is the greatest calling for which all are
required to work together and strive to fulfill this God-given calling.
The church and Christians who look toward God's kingdom have the calling to be the salt
and light in this world. Examining the region and periphery from God's kingdom perspective and
working together to Building the Gospel is very important. The church must carefully scrutinize
the surroundings to actively support struggling churches, local communities, educational
facilities, overseas mission fields and the like in order to Building the Gospel. To that end, lay
people-centered ministry is absolutely required. When Christians cooperate and collaborate
together with God's kingdom perspective and become one with Christ, they will be able to
achieve healthy, beautiful and well-balanced missions.
This project introduces the direction and concrete process of the beautiful church, the
healthy church, the vitality of Christ filled church that transforms the world and saves souls. The
beautiful fruits of mission of the present age church and Christians who seek and desire to expand
God's kingdom by serving the region as salt and light will be made evident.
