Celebrating the 140year legacy of the Korean church, this session traced its incredible journey from humble beginnings to becoming a global missionary force. Drawing from the biblical image of the 12 stones in Joshua 4, Korean church leaders reflected on key moments like the 1907 Pyongyang Revival and the church’s role in Korea’s independence and postwar recovery. The session highlighted how prayer, the Holy Spirit, and early missionaries shaped a resilient church that now leads in global missions. While addressing contemporary challenges, including syncretism and social issues, the session ended with a strong call for the Korean church to continue declaring and displaying the gospel, aligned with Lausanne's focus on justice, reconciliation, and holistic mission.
