The purpose of this study is to analyze the actual status of churches and youth mission organizations involved in missionary programs on school campuses (“school mission programs”) following the implementation of the Student Human Rights Ordinance. The goal is to present effective ways of implementing school mission programs. Despite the significant effort of the churches and youth mission organizations, however, there appears to be substantial hindrance to their operations. There are three reasons for this.
First, the school mission programs have ran into a new phase following the implementation of the Student Human Rights Ordinance. Second, financial support and interest in school missions programs have waned. Third, the churches and youth mission organizations are not fully aware of the cultural and societal trends and phenomena facing the youth in modern society. In order to fully address such problems, this study analyzed the current literature and the national statistical data. The research is also based on surveys of churches and youth mission organizations pooled from both the Korea Federation of Christian Schools and non-Christian schools. Based on the results obtained through the research and analysis, practical improvement plans for the school mission programs are suggested.
Based on theoretical and statistical analysis, it appears that for “problematic” students in question there is a history of “problematic” family relationship, and most such families involve separations of some sort. The parents’ divorce or separation calls for dissolution of the family, and within that family, the youth often appears to stop studying for work and be easily lured to criminal activities. For young people today, the school is no longer a pleasant space for meeting new friends and enjoying their teenage years. The school has become a place where students prepare for college and build their resumes. Ultimately to get a good job in the future. In the not-too-distant future, more young people are expected to drop out of school. However, the school is still an important field to carry out school campus programs. This is because teenage years are when people are most likely to choose faith and Protestantism for the first time.
Recognizing the importance of school mission programs, the church and youth mission organizations have been active in the school scenes of both Christian and non-Christian schools. The major achievements of the school mission programs are as follows. First, despite the diminished sponsorship of school missions programs, such as the contraction and loss of religious education in the public education system, and the Church’s reduction of budget and interest in school missions programs, there has been opportunities for Christian character education in the junior to senior high schools. Second, indirect missions have been conducted through the compulsory-elective classes only for the first grade of middle school students from 2016. Third, there has been positive activities to relieve the situations concerning youths with problematic background. Churches and youth mission organizations have engaged in mission projects not only in school but also outside the school for youth ministries.
The following recommendations are suggested to further the school mission programs for the youth. First, Korean churches and youth mission organizations should establish accurate databases concerning youth. Second, the training of missionaries specializing in youths is necessary. Third, a considered response to the government's education policy is needed. Fourth, it is urgently needed to develop educational mission contents that can change the perception of churches and Christian teachers for the sake of spirituality formation of Christian Youth. This study has begun to explore what is the most effective method for school-based mission programs for adolescents. There is no doubt that school mission program is effective in pedagogically evangelizing young people in modern society.
