최규진(Paul Kyu-Jin Choi) 횃불트리니티신학대학원대학교 한국이슬람연구소 2016 Muslim - Christian Encounter Vol.9 No.1
The purpose of this research is to conduct a case study of a local church in North America to describe opportunities and challenges that local churches in North America have, responding to the global refugee crisis and influx of Muslim-background refugees into the local regions. To best serve the purpose of the research, the researcher employed an appreciative inquiry method to describe the case. There were four research questions: (1) From the perspective of the current purpose, what is the history and vision of the case church; (2) How has the case church responded to the global refugee crisis; (3) What missiological themes and implications for refugee ministry in North America can be learned from the case; and (4) What are the potential strategies for future refugee ministries in North America? Village Baptist Church, in Beaverton, Oregon, is an intentional multicultural church, which transformed from a homogeneous church in the early 1990’s in order to reflect the local demography. It has actively participated in refugee ministries globally in the Levant in partnership with various Arab-based organizations, and also in the local neighborhood for over a decade. Reflecting on its past experiences, some missiological reflections and implications were made: (1) urgency and privilege of participating in refugee ministry; (2) significance of holistic ministry; (3) necessity of establishing a Christology in the refugee context; (4) necessity of establishing an ecclesiology in the North American refugee context; (5) consideration of diaspora missiology; (6) creating a synergy of global and local ministries; and (7) current state of North American church in a culture of Islamophobia. At last, the researcher introduced a practical strategy to mobilize and equip a local church for refugee ministries.
