In Korea, I taught a missions seminar and helped conduct a Member Care program for Korean missionaries who are serving globally. Training and building awareness of how to care for the Korean missionary are the keys to long-term missions service.<\/p>\n<p>The face of missions is changing.\u00a0 It is no longer only a white face who delivers the good news of the gospel; rather an Asian, Latin, Indian face.\u00a0 Some Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhist need to see a different face to understand that God loves them. The face of missions looks like God\u2019s face.\u00a0 God so\u2026 loved the world\u2026 that He gave His only son.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Asia will pass North America and become the largest missions sending region of the world. The early missionaries often reported Korea to be a resistant country to the gospel, along with the Philippines and China.\u00a0 Today these counties contain a high ratio of Christians and send missionaries. Koreans are known to be a people who are prayer warriors. Prayer is an essential factor to missions, for it requires the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit to draw people to Christ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou make me very proud\u201d is what I tell the Koreans and Chinese missionaries. \u201cYou are a testimony of the power of God who transforms lives.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cYou are the fruit of faithful prayer warriors who prayed and sent a missionary, the fruit of a missionary who wanted to quit, but they trusted God\u2019s call to you and continued to invest their life in you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your prayers and continued support that sends me to the nations.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: Rhonda Pruitt<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pruitt Prayer Parchment by Rhonda Pruitt Korea in the Spotlight Korea has been at the center of recent ministry.
