I have thought a lot about whether or not I wanted to comment on a few of the stories I've been reading this past week regarding the repentance of the Korean pastors, and I have to say honestly that I am not sure I really understand their need to repent for doing the work of the great commission.

While there has been worldwide criticism and even some very hateful comments coming from the critics of the Korean Christians for sending missionaries into dangerous and foreign lands, my question is - Is that really a bad thing?

It's the people who are critical that have the issue, because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. I really don't think that the Lord has an issue with His children being obedient to His commands.

Here's a story on the Christian Post - please read it and then feel free to comment and let me know if you think these Pastors need to repent for doing the work of the great commission.

I think that if any pastors need to repent, it's those pastors who could care less if people get saved or they send anyone on the mission field...but then again, that's just me.

One of the things in that article that most stood out to me was the fact that South Korea is the #2 mission sending nation in the world (behind only the United States). If that tiny country can do that with their population, what would happen if churches in North America started taking world evangelism more seriously?
Now, as to the qustion about the Afghanistan situation, I don't why the S. Korean church needs to repent. I agree with Stacy, it is the church is North America that needs to repent.
