This, I think, is one of the possibilities you might consider seriously. It could open to Korean churches and mission agencies new ways for constructive relationship in mission with Christians and churches around the world. Let me conclude this brief presentation with an illustration. I have just come back from an ecumenical team visit to the Sudan. This is a country at war.
People live in the midst of a terrible ethnic, cultural, economic and religious conflict.
Yet, Christians develop a remarkable evangelistic activity and mission work. This, precisely, is one of those cases where sending churches need a clear mission policy, a careful preparation in order to know the local situation and a solid partnership with local churches and ecumenical organizations. We could find and explore many similar examples around the world. Our discussions during this encounter could be decisive in this sense. I hope this consultation will inaugurate an important process for Korean churches and mission agencies towards a formulation of a common mission policy at the service of the gospel, the proclamation of the good news of salvation to the whole world.
