#81: Korean Missionaries

The news of Koren hostages, mostly missionaries, in Afghanistan in the headlines of the international press brought my attention to the role of Korean missionaries in Kyrgyzstan. If they are willing to go to war-torn Afghanistan, they seem to be die hard followers of Christ. According to The Economist, "Korea is second only to America when it comes to spreading the gospel." American missionary groups are complimented by Korean missionaries in the spreading "god's words" in Kyrgyzstan. However, Kyrgyzstan is a favorite place not only for Christian missionaries, but also for Muslim missionaries (dawah) due to liberal legislature on registering missionary organizations.
