Abstract
Some recent media coverage of the tragic history of Aboriginal people to Korean ethnic churches have attracted attention of scholars both from a cross-cultural studies and a Christian perspective. In the first stage of the study, a systematic review of the literature aimed to understand Christian missions to Aboriginal peoples and imply Aboriginal missions and evangelism of the Church in Australia.
The finding of this study suggests that the Aboriginal mission territory of Churches would be a refuge for the oppressed in times of trouble within God. Korean ethnic Churches have come up with three practical ways to support ① building Aboriginal based Churches and mission filed training camps for unassimilated native Australian Aboriginals; ② cultivating the useless, abandoned, empty land of Aboriginal people and harvesting/sharing the farm products with neighborhoods; and ③ preserving and promoting Aboriginal knowledge of natural herbal medicine.
In terms of the most practical aspects of missionary work among Aboriginal people of Australia while identifying the role of the Korean ethnic Churches such as: ① true repentance and repenting on behalf of Australian Churches in the love of Jesus Christ for their forgiveness, restoration and the spiritual revival; ② serving(Diakonia) in Korean and Aboriginal churches working together as the body of Jesus Christ for the glory of God; and ③ a commitment to intercessory prayer with Jesus Christ for the Aboriginal mission field and the spiritual worker.
However, the results of this study remain a controversial approach to limited generalization.
