Can you trace your faith to a specific founder? Do you have a singular "holy book" inspired by God as the scriptural guide for your faith? In Korea, many of our people are very religious and yet without the Truth.

The Shilla Dynasty that unified Korea in 668 made Buddhism the official religion. A unique feature of some Korean Buddhist temples is a side chapel dedicated to a mountain spirit - usually shown as an old man with a pet tiger. Today about forty-five percent of Koreans follow Buddhism.

Confucius also had a great influence our Korean ideas. Confucianism became the official state system in the 14th century with the Chosun Dynasty. We may not consider Confucianism so much a religion as a political and social system based on conduct as expressed by sons to fathers, wives to husbands, people toward rulers. Although old rulers have passed away and Korea has become a modern state, Confucian ideas remain present in our family organization, devotion to ancestors, and in everyday behavior.

Messengers proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ arrived in the 17th century. Christianity was prohibited by many years by Korea's rulers, but over the last 50 years Christianity has provided hope for an increasing number of Koreans. Now, more than half of all Koreans are Christians. Korea today has one of the largest number of missionaries sharing the message of Jesus Christ around the world.

Who was Jesus? What is His message?

God has spoken to us by Jesus Christ, whom God appointed heir of all things and through whom God made the universe. He is the radiance of God’s glory, the exact expression of God’s nature, and He sustains all things with His powerful Word. After making purification for sins, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God. Hebrews 2-3
