Abstract

The crisis of the Korean church caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many issues such as many Korean missionaries’ involuntary withdrawal along with their evacuation out of the mission fields and reduction of mission budget. Then, the Korean missionaries may need to deliver their mission leadership and property to the local leaders. However, this would lead us to the new concept of ‘sending’ in the light of the missio Dei (the sending by God) in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era in three ways. Firstly, the new concept of ‘sending’ stimulates continuous sending of missionaries through entry (initiation) and exit (withdrawal) of the missionary followed by re-entrance. Secondly, it identifies the Korean missionaries as pilgrims. Finally, it leads to the equal partnership between the Korean missionaries and the local churches by sending to one another.
