Abstract

    In recent years, there has been a steady decline in the population of Protestants in Korea.  However, evangelical churches maintained a strong force that extends its reach to active missionary activities overseas.  In particular, this paper attempts to reexamine the missionary activities of Korean protestant churches through a study on the process of expansion in Korean protestant churchesin Japan. <br>    The contents of this paper are as follows: <br>    (1) The reasons for Korean Protestant churches to shift their missionary activities overseas, and an examination of their characteristics during the initiation of their formal activities overseas.  (2) Confirmation of whether the characteristics found in Korea can be applied or maintained in Japan through focusing on the “Yoido Full GospelChurch”, a church that has its main headquarter in Korea while actively expanding in Japan. In order to do so, there is a need to analyze the characteristics of the “Yoido Full Gospel Church” in Korean while grasping the conditions of missionary activities occurring in Japan.  (3) Participant observation and interviews are carried out to find out how the religious needs of the believers are attended to on the actual sites of evangelical work conducted by the “Japan Full Gospel Association” active in urbanized areas.
