Korea DNA Leaders’ and Pastors’ Retreat

Share This Post

For its first 10 years (2002-2012), the ministry of Korea DNA was focused on building wholistic, sustainable models of local churches in the Korean context. After conducting the 10-year impact evaluation in 2013, the leaders of Korea DNA decided to consolidate their learning and to prepare for the next chapter of ministry in two ways: first, by publishing the DNA book to reach out to a wider audience in Korea; second, by holding leadership retreats.

Leaders of DNA Korea gather for four days on these retreats to fellowship and to share their ministry vision, experience, challenges and future opportunities. But the most important objective of the retreat is to rest as they come away from their day-to-day busy ministry commitments. This is where new ideas for the future of DNA Korea are being germinated (and incubated). This is a slow process in an unforced rhythm of future leadership preparation for Korea DNA’s next chapter.

The focus of the retreat was to learn from the prayers of Hannah, Samuel, and David in the rapidly changing times of Israel’s history (1 Samuel) in order to gain insights and wisdom for our task for training future pastoral leaders in the complex context for local churches in Korea.
  1. A third retreat is tentatively planned for August 2016 in Vancouver, Canada. The focus will be to understand the past 100 years of theological and missional engagement of local churches in Western Canada, especially learning from multicultural local churches in Vancouver (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc.) as well as various theological institutions.

Why Jordan Peterson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali & Others are Turning to Christianity

The Western world has been described as a cut flower. This flower was beautiful and flourishing while rooted in a Judeo-Christian worldview, and yet, as it became increasingly secular and rejected God, it cut itself off from its roots. Today, the flower still looks good, but it will soon wither and die if nothing changes.

In this episode, we look at the increasing number of former atheists, Muslims, and agnostics who are calling out the erosion of Western civilization along with its former values of human rights, justice, and freedom. These people–including Ayanna Hershi Ali, Jordan Perterson, Douglas Murray, Tom Holland, and more–are understanding that these Western values came from the Bible.

If Western society rejects God, it will also lose the virtuous and moral framework that created its foundation. This realization is leading to an awakening. It is a unique journey that has led people from an analysis of the culture and the West to the cross…
