Church Starting and Faith Sharing Ministries / General CBF

Partnering with South Korean Christians

Sung Hyun Kim, assistant overseer of Sungrak Church in Seoul, South Korea, and Daniel Vestal, CBF's executive coordinator.

At Sungrak Church in Seoul, South Korea, what a difference 40 years can make. In the late 1960s, Ki Dong Kim started a church with just a handful of people. Now, the congregation has more than 150,000 members. Kim’s son, Sung Hyun Kim is the assistant overseer of the church, helping his father lead one of the largest Baptist congregations in the world.

When CBF Executive Coordinator Daniel Vestal traveled to South Korea last year [read his reflection on his trip here], he met Christian leaders including Sung Hyun Kim, who recognized “a shared zeal of Christian work. We found that we are ready to work together for work that pleases God,” Kim said. In early June, Sung Hyun Kim – along with other Seoul Christian leaders Stephen Song and Sang Hee Choo – traveled to Atlanta to meet with the Fellowship and sign a memorandum of understanding, launching a partnership for ministry that will help share the story of Jesus Christ with the world. “I hope this partnership will be a lasting one,” Kim said.

  1. Dear Brethren,
    Greetings in the most precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
    I am Bro. Ely Dacuyan a Filipino missionary here in the Philippines.. I’m currently working as a church planter and training our nationals for the Lord’s work.
    I have some men who was already trained and now they were actively in the ministry. Most of them are struggling because of so many needs. As I observed here in our country that many Koreans came here and they are helping to build churches and helping ministry needs but only those who are belong to a presbyterian groups and pentecostal groups. I made a research with regards if there are some korean baptist groups that do the same but I heard none. So, I wonder if you as korean Churches there can do the same as what those groups did. So far this time we have several pioneering churches that badly need of help. I would greatly appreciate if you could be our partner in this great work of the Lord that is going on also here in the Philippines. I am more than willing to provide you any information regarding our ministry here. You are also welcome to see the work of the Lord here. God bless you and we will be praying for you.

  6. Dear Sir or Madam

    It would be a great favour for me if this reaches the most relevant person as intended.I am one of the church pastors in Capetown, South Africa.My role to the church is Pastor’s Chairperson and member of the Church Development Forum.The church has been operating for more than thirty years now. It started in the township of Langa which bears a very rich history in terms of SAs past. Our leader has planted more than fifteen branches in the rest of South Africa. On our conversation with my old friend we came up to a point where he was applauding how Korean guys are a blessing to the SA Church.One thing he mentioned was a program which assists towards the church building project. I then found it an opportunity for me to inquire on behalf of my church and my Bishop about the project.Our church has two pieces of land that have acquired.We have been praying that God help us do fundraising to start building but things did not go as we had planned. Could it be possible that you come to our rescue by assisting where we are running short? We have managed to raise some funds but only about just more than 50% of what we need has been raised for the first building in Langa area.

    My commitment to the church is to assist where I can towards the development of the church. I would very much appreciate your positive response and that would bring relief to the church leadership and the church as a whole.

  7. Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am writing to you on behalf of the Ministry of Love of Christ to Nations (MILONA), an organization based in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our mission is to work with Christian children who have been affected by conflict and to share the love of Christ with non-believer children in the
    same area.

    Having come across your profile on your organization’s website, I was deeply moved by the alignment of our missions in reaching out all nations. It is with great joy and excitement
    that I humbly request a collaboration between our organizations in the areas of children
    ministry, discipleship making, exchange programs, and outreach missions.

    We believe that by joining forces and pooling our resources, we can make greater impact
    on the lives of the children we serve. Through collaboration, we can share our knowledge,
    experiences, and best practices, enabling us to reach more children with the love and hope
    of Jesus Christ. Together, we can provide a nurturing environment, spiritual guidance, and
    educational opportunities that will empower these children to become strong Disciples of
    Christ.

    I kindly request your consideration of this collaboration proposal. If you have any
    questions, suggestions, or ideas on how we can work together to further our missions,
    please do not hesitate to let me know. I am eager to discuss the possibilities and explore
    how our organizations can complement each other’s efforts. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for your consideration. May the Lord
    guide us in this endeavor and bless our efforts to bring hope and transformation to the
    lives of children in need.

    Yours in Christ,

    For the Ministry of Love to Nations,
    Dedani Mwemedi Echasa, The President.

  18. We like to receive friends, pastor’s from Korea 2025

    Dear Friends,

    I am writing on behalf of Christ Trumpet Mission Churches to extend a proposal for a potential partnership between our respective churches, ministries.

    We are writing this letter to you because we would like you to consider becoming a “Partner in Faith.” This is an opportunity for you to join us in “Touching many lives, build permanent churches in rural Uganda.

    Strong church partnerships are needed to support young children, youth, adults in their new journey in salvation.

    As we look back over the years, we are immensely grateful for all the Lord has joined to this ministry and to our lives. Great following from the local community.

    CTM did not begin as a “cool idea” in the mind of a man, but was in the heart of God to reach people He loves. What began and continues to be a powerful avenue to reach the lost, continues to grow, flourish, and transform lives all our communities.

    At Christ Trumpet Mission Churches, God has called us to; bringing light where there is darkness, love where there is hate, healing where there is sickness and brokenness, hope where there is despair, provision where there is lack, peace where there is fear and strife, a new life for the old, and eternal life for eternal death.

    We will take your covenant partnership very seriously. Although, some of David’s men stayed back to watch over things, rather than forging forward against the Amalekites, David decreed that they would receive the same reward as those who fought on the front lines (1Sam. 30:23-25).

    As our partner, you receive the very same reward of every changed life! When the Shunammite woman helped support the ministry of the prophet Elisha, the bible tells us the anointing in Elisha’s life was made available to her to meet the natural need she had in her life for a child (2Kings 4:14-16).

    Even Jesus taught us about the prophet’s reward in the New Testament for those that connect with the prophet (Matt.10:41-42).

    We pray daily for you, our desired partners, believing God for each one; and release our faith and the anointing of the gifting in our lives and ministry.

    Know you are loved,

    Gospel Co-ordinator
    Christ Trumpet Mission Churches
