2008 Exhibit — The Centennial of the Great Korean Revival of 1907

With one of the largest Presbyterian denominations in the world, Korea experienced a Great Revival in 1907 to Christianity.

This interactive exhibit traces the growth of Presbyterians in Korea from the late 19th century through the 1907 awakening. Look for our new 2008 exhibit, opening late Spring in Montreat and on our web site as a virtual exhibit.

In summer 1901, Montreat hosted its first foreign mission conference. Attending was the Rev. W. M. Junkin, one of the original seven Korean missionaries sent by the Presbyterian Church of the United States (PCUS).
