NKPW supports mission in 54 countries. A primary example is Indonesia, where for 25 years PCK women have developed a school for kindergarten through secondary school. More than 1,000 students are educated each year through the school. The June summit between North and South Korean leaders has produced particular euphoria. With ordination now a reality, new issues and opportunities are emerging for Presbyterian women in Korea.
Equality of women is the next hurdle, but progress is steady.
Women are now encouraged to serve on the Board of Trustees of Seoul Women's University. In addition, women can now serve on presbytery committees, begin to move forward in seniority on session and presbytery committees and are striving to be elected in greater numbers as commissioners to the PCK General Assembly. This year five women were among the 1,500 commissioners - one minister and four elders. The NKPW is a key player in these developments and the close historical relationship between the PCK and the NKPW is flourishing in these new times. The Rev. Mrs. Nene Amogu of Nigeria has a story to tell, a story of a journey and a call to ministry.
