This study seeks for the revival of South Korean church on the verge of perishing. While searching for ways to embrace young believers who are deserting their faith at a rate faster than the South Korean population decline expected for the upcoming 40 years, we claim that a contemporary "Faith Reformation Movement" inspired by the religious reformation of the medieval era is necessary.
The "Faith Reformation Movement" involved the translation of the Latin Bible into common language during the medieval era, the reinterpretation of the Bible focusing on the doctrine of 'justification by faith' and the eradication of erroneous interpretations of the Bible spread by high-ranking clergy of the Vatican. This allowed the ordinary believers to live a more voluntary religious life, which was the main driving force of the reformation. Like the past reformation movement, "Faith Reformation Movement" for the current era refers to a movement that trains ordinary believers to voluntarily interpret the Bible, involves daily prayer, and allows them to properly practice faith with truth without being misled by incorrect interpretations of the word of God.
To this end, this study introduces the "Daily Prayer School," developed as a part of the "Faith Reformation Movement". "Daily Prayer School" is an online program that trains people to pray in their daily lives. The program is based on the "Lord's Prayer" and actively utilizes Bible study materials, online video lectures, prayer training video sessions, and Google classroom questionnaires.
It is hoped that this paper can be used to encourage proper personal religious life among the ordinary believers.
