The Korean Union Conference (KUC) held its annual council meetings in its auditorium on November 12, 2013. Around 100 representatives from the Northern Asia-Pacific Division (NSD), Korean Union Conference (KUC), five local conferences, and institutions, attended to deal with agendas.
During the meeting, each department of the KUC reported their activities for the year, and plans for the next year. In addition, each institution such as medical, educational, food, publishing, and language school, reported the current condition of operation.
In the opening remarks, Dr. Jairyong Lee, NSD President, introduced the NSD’s major projects such as 1000 Missionary Movement (1000MM), Pioneer Mission Movement (PMM), HisHands Mission Movement (HHMM), and Mission Day, as well as their present situations, and said, “Mission is not a theory, but practice. I really appreciate the Korean Adventist church for its positive cooperation for global gospel work.”
“There are many difficult problems before us. The compiled figures, or statistics, show that the church is slowly declining. Mission work should not be stagnant any more, but be placed on a solid base,” said Pastor DaeSung Kim, KUC President.
The participants then had a special prayer meeting, and prayed for the Seeding Evangelism in each church, an increase of baptisms and tithes, children and youth ministries, spiritual revival of Adventists, operation and mission work in hospitals and language schools, church leaders, the presence of the Latter Rain, Jesus’ coming, and the nation and its leaders.
