Abstract
Evaluating the 30 years the history of Korean churches’ mission among the migrant workers, its future mission strategies can be planned. During the ‘Industrial training system’ period the main mission was involved in human right issues and meeting the needs of the migrant workers. Later in the ‘Employment Permit System’ period, mission communities of each countries were developed and focused on Reverse Sending Mission. Later during the Covid-19 pandemic, the mission developed into virtual mission. Missional suggestions are that firstly we can meet the emotional and spiritual needs of the migrant workers. Secondly, we can develop mission communities according to country or ethnics where the gospel and the love of God can be shared. Lastly Korean churches can continue their mission with migrant workers even after they return to their home countries through the online meetings and social network services. As a result, the migrant mission done in Korea becomes a global mission. The migrant workers mission is a way to be part of God’s work in migrating world.
