2019_KoreaJubilee Introduce_30th-Anniversary Korean Church
In February of 2018, the leaders of the Korean churches had a special meeting for the 30th anniversary.
It was a time to remember the past and look towards the future.
The team began to look for the perfect location for this event.
We remembered the places that were special to the Korean churches and Pyeongchang was chosen.
Thanks to the Winter Olympics the entire area has been remodeled.
We believe God is faithful and allowed us to be blessed to move towards the future.
We are planning a three-day, a two-night event from August 30 to September 1, 2019, where many speakers will be invited.
This event will be held at Hanhwa Resort due to the lack of space at Phoenix Park.
Registrations and events will all be located at Hanhwa Resort. We plan to use all of the event spaces. You are free to stay anywhere else.
We will do our best to hold a memorable 30th-anniversary Jubilee.
We ask for your prayers and support.
30th-Anniversary Korean Church Preparatory Committee
Crucial week ahead for inter-Korean relations
While North Korea will be celebrating the birth of its late founder Kim Il-sung this week, South Korea and the international community will be watching with anticipation... to see if the regime launches yet another provocation.
Our foreign affairs correspondent Hwang Sung-hee starts us off. April has historically been a month of provocations for North Korea.
It was in April that the communist regime conducted two of its five long-range ballistic missile launches and unilaterally closed down the inter-Korean factory zone in the North.
The month has a number of politically significant events, and provocations are one way for the North Korean leader to demonstrate his strength in power for regime consolidation.
If history repeats itself, this week could turn out to be a crucial one in inter-Korean relations.
Tuesday marks the birthday of North Korea's founder Kim Il-sung and on Friday, the joint military drills between Seoul and Washington will come to an end.
North Korea's notification to Japan of possible missile launches by Thursday is also raising concerns.
This comes amid back-to-back meetings between Seoul, Washington, Beijing and Tokyo as they try to jumpstart the long-stalled six-party talks.
The multilateral dialogue, consisting of the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Japan and Russia has not taken place since late 2008.
Some experts say the North could back away from further provocations, and instead, return to the negotiating table.
There's a chance North Korea could give up its nuclear tests,... if the six-party talks on denuclearizing the North resume. Pyongyang could make a gesture to improve inter-Korean ties first.
Still, most experts warn of another round of provocations by Pyongyang ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Seoul and Tokyo at the end of this month.
