Abstract
This study examines how the Early Church, which suffered a massive epidemic in the second and third centuries of the Roman Empire, and the Korean church, which suffered the Korean War, set the direction and purpose of evangelism. During a national disaster, in which the anomie phenomenon of social order occurs, they shed light on how they influenced the unchurched, the perception and spread of Christianity, and the church’s growth. The church should recognize the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to spread the Gospel, not as a crisis. Rather than only emphasizing solidarity and recovery within the church, the church should also benefit society by practicing the love and sacrifice of Christ. To do so, we need to seek life-oriented evangelism, not institutional religious activities. Furthermore, we must challenge new domains and methods of evangelism in the New Normal environment. The church should grow into an open network-oriented faith community, not a closed religious gathering, and meet those who do not know the Gospel.
