Abstract
In celebration of the Korean Society of Mission Studies’ 30th anniversary, the study examines the history of the organization, analyzes the changing research topic in the past ten years and suggests the future direction of the society. Along with the burst of growth in Korean mission work, the KSOMS has benefited great success over the last thirty years. The Korean Society of Mission Studies was the main platform for Korean mission scholars to interact and share their work. Immense effort among scholars generated unique and Korean-centric research after 2010. Along with entering the 30th anniversary, Korean mission scholars are now facing a new landscape that has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper suggests five different ways that the Korean Society of Mission Studies must engage in this new landscape: (1) escape from the uncritical acceptance of Western scholarship model; (2) develop Korean-centric mission studies model; (3) increase cooperation among Korean missiologists; (4) strengthen the bond between Asian and African missiologists; and (5) encourage deeper theologiziation of Korean mission work by encouraging young scholars to publish and share with the global church.
