Pray that pastors and church leaders will build a strong commitment of Biblical friendship and stop walking alone but rather together with other believers to experience gospel unity under the banner of the gospel. South Korea (Asia). The Korean Church has major spiritual challenges to face if its credibility before the world and effectiveness in ministry are to be at their maximum: a) Stagnation and saturation. b) Spiritual pride. c) Divisions and schisms sadly typify the Korean scene. d) Patterns of leadership. Leadership is sometimes too authoritarian. f) Lack of transformational impact on society.
