본 논문은 선교적 교회론이 한국적 상황에서 실제로 어떻게 실천되 고 있는지를 알아보고, 그들이 가지고 있는 공통적인 특징들로부터 선교적 교회를 이루는 일곱 가지 주요 요소들을 정리한다. 첫째, 선교지 로서의 지역사회(Local community as mission field)이해. 둘째, 보냄받은 공동체(The Sent-Community)로서의 교회이해. 셋째, 통전적 선교사역(Holistic Mission). 넷째, 하나님의 선교(missio Dei). 다섯째, 하나님의 나라(Kingdom of God). 여섯째, 하나님의 한 백성이 함께 이끌어 가는 팀 리더십 교회구조(Laos-Driven Structure). 일곱째, 선교사로서의 하나님 나라 백성들(God’s Missionary People)이다. 이것들은 오늘날 한국교회들이 선교적 교회 로 다시 세워지기 위해서 꼭 갖춰야 할 필수요소들이 무엇인지에 대한 선교적 통찰을 준다. 선교적 교회는 교회의 선교적 본질을 회복하고, 하나님으로부터 세상으로 보냄을 받은 선교 공동체라는 자기 정체성을 가지고 이 땅에 임하는 하나님의 나라(통치)를 위해 통전적 선교사역을 수행하는 사명 공동체인 것이다.

The author visited Asia Minor in Turkey and Patmos Island in Greece. In the midst of the once passionate mission fields of the seven churches of the Book of Revelation, the author received flashes of missiological insight and inspiration. The seven churches represent the churches of the apostolic age and in some way represent churches in every age. The risen Christ’s messages to the seven churches could be Christ's suggestions to today's crosscultural missionary. To interpret the messages the author uses missional hermeneutic instead of using the existing methods (the continuoushistorical, preterist, futurist, and idealist methods). This article can be classified as theology of mission, not a biblical commentary on the messages of the seven churches. Chapter 2, consisting of five sections, covers the messages to the seven churches and crosscultural mission. The five subtitles are as follows: 1. Messages to the churches in Ephesus; mission as an act of faith. 2. Messages to the churches in Smyrna; mission as being faithful even to the point of death. 3. Messages to the churches in Pergamum; mission as power evangelism starting from repentance. 4. Messages to the churches in Thyatira, Sardis, and Philadelphia; mission as holding what an awakened one has. 5. Messages to the churches in Laodicea; mission as being either cold or hot. The author concludes this article by emphasizing that the messages to the seven churches of the Book of Revelation are prophecies which speak to churches in every age. The author takes the seven messages as prophecies to crosscultural missionary, and emphasizes that the results will be determined by the attitude of crosscultural missionary.
