"Better World": A Case Study of A Korean Megachurch's NGO. (October 2018) - Jennings, J Nelson
This is a case study about Better World (BW), the NGO of Seoul-based Onnuri Church. The article is more descriptive than prescriptive and proceeds more inductively regarding explanations for BW's practices than deductively evaluating BW according to predetermined models. This case study seeks to understand, present, and analyze BW in relation to larger development themes associated with Christian development activities. More than providing answers, the article hopes to sharpen questions. After considering the historical development of various programs, the study examines BW's philosophy of mission, ministry, and development. The article then closely examines programs and some challenges that BW faces.
