ABSTRACT

The main goal of this article is to reflect on the“Abide Bear Fruit Consultation”(hereafter called ABFC) held in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2017, in order to make abiding in Jesus the first priority and basic methodology of mission. In some way, it seems numerous global gatherings and networks tend to focus on tools and methods for reaching Muslims. ABFC doesn’t undermine these tools and methods, but emphasizes an ultimate and fundamental issue in relation to world mission to Muslims. As a Korean participant and a practitioner who is serving and working among Muslims in Central Asia and attended the ABFC, I present personal reflection and perspectives on missional implications of the consultation. I will review historical background of Vision 5:9 network which facilitated ABFC. Furthermore, I will attempt to convey the context and outcome of the 2017 ABFC in the conclusion and articulate the missional implications and challenges/remaining tasks of the Korean church.
