At Yanghwajin Foreign Missionaries’ Cemetery in Seoul, two veteran Protestant pastors reflect on 140 years of Christian missions in Korea. They say early missionaries—who often came on one-way tickets—introduced modern medicine and education, supported independence, and served marginalized groups, helping ignite social movements like the March 1st Movement. The pastors urge the modern church to recover the “Yanghwajin spirit”: humility, self-sacrifice, and servant leadership rooted in the cross, and to repent of materialism and power struggles that have eroded public trust.
