AB - The purpose of this study is to focus on the increase in modern single parent families and the resulting need for care, based on the description of the difficulties of single parent families and God's care mentioned in the Bible. The recent increase in divorce and low-birth rates in South Korea contributes to the rise of single parent families with one child, even in churches. Using Mandelbaum's narrative research method, this study analyzes personal experiences of two participants who are one child with a single parent. In ‘dimensions’, the research explores the areas of parents, poverty, and prejudice, paying special attention to how the absence of a father influences their lives. In ‘turnings’, it coveres parent-child conflict and psychological difficulties of parentification and infantilisation. In ‘adaptations’, it analyses differences between two participants in independence, conflict resolution and seeking help-resources. Based on the result, this study discusses the need for early intervention in counseling for one child in single parent families and suggests several practices of church care for one child with single parents: providing spiritual support in meeting God the True Father, creating vicarious experiences with a good adult, strengthening the role of the community, and arranging education for single parent families and practical institutional helps.
