KCPC (Korean Community Presbyterian Church of Atlanta)

​

The Catalyst for KCPC(Korean Community Presbyterian Church in Atlanta)'s Involvement in Guatemala Missions​. 

​

​​After reviewing the mission team's report, the church's session chose Guatemala as a partner mission field. In August 2015, a mission team of nine members was sent to work alongside the Kim-Lee missionary couple to complete their first joint mission project. Since then, the church has continued to send annual mission teams to assist the Kim-Lee couple in their ministry among the Maya people in Guatemala, sustaining their cooperative mission efforts.

​​

In 2014, the Kingdom Inter-Missions Network (KIMNET) Mission Conference, hosted by KCPC, featured missionary Hyun-Young Kim as a speaker. After hearing his report on the mission work in Guatemala, the church's session decided in 2015 to establish a mission vision team for Guatemala. This team, consisting of Pastor Sung-Hee Yoo, Elder Hak Keun Chang, and Deacon Chan-Il Park, visited Guatemala to explore the potential for cooperative mission work with the missionaries Hyun-Young Kim and Deok-Joo Lee.
