Zusammenfassung:At the end of 2018, a total of 21,378 Korean missionaries were serving in 146 countries under 154 mission agencies. The yearly increase was 158 missionaries, and the annual growth rate was 0.74 percent. The increase this year was due largely to the addition of older missionaries, who joined after retiring from their secular occupation. Fewer young people are joining, largely because of the hard realities of raising support. Faith missions have traditionally been quite casual about fund-raising, but many are now suggesting that support raising receive more attention as a significant form of ministry.
