Pentecostalism in South Korea
 
I've been doing some research into South Korea, and I can't seem to find much in the way of churches there. I had heard that the Bernards had a good revival back in the day, but there's only one (lady) missionary in the whole country, and I don't know her location. It just seems that there would be more evidence in the country of UPC/Oneness influence, KWIM? If anyone could provide a list of churches in South Korea, I would appreciate it. We are exploring some options for the next couple/few years of our lives.

This is the book I found about the Bernards (I haven't read it)

The only missionary in South Korea that I've been able to find (I haven't contacted her, although may do that soon)

There are a number of Oneness churches in S. Korea. Many of them are under the direction of Asian believers with a local base, insead of being under the direct influence of a Western or U.S. organization. One of the most successful is the True Jesus Church organization that numbers in the millions and adheres to Oneness doctrine but has a few doctrinal distinctives that sets it appart from its Western counterparts. This is the case of most Asian Oneness churches.

It is my understanding that the nationals are in charge of the upc churches in S. Korea. I think the upc organization there is supported and run by the locals.
