LOS ANGELES — Nearly 450 Korean Southern Baptists made commitments to overseas missions service at a May 10–11 missions celebration at Berendo Street Baptist Church in Los Angeles, the oldest Korean Baptist church in the country.
Sponsored by the International Mission Board (IMB), the celebration was one of four being held among the 750 Korean-speaking Southern Baptist churches across the nation. The goal of these conferences is that the Korean American churches would help the IMB to mobilize, recruit and deploy 1,000 new missionaries.
Well over 1,000 people attended the Los Angeles conference.
After IMB staff conducted nine separate mission seminars, IMB President Jerry Rankin brought a closing message, challenging local churches to get involved with missions work through partnership.
