- Mobilizing Korean families (including singles) to be involved in the Great Commission.
- Reaching out to Korean families in need in Thailand and other countries.
Ministry overview
FMS (Family Ministry School)
The Family Ministries School is a second level school following the DTS. This course is to train leaders for ministry in the areas of marriage and family restoration and enrichment from a biblical perspective, in view of the completion of the Great Commission to "make disciples of all the nations." The six-month program includes a three-month lecture phase and a three-month field assignment phase.
