- Abstract
- The examination of academic resources, personal experiences with Korean American churches, and interviews from Korean immigrant parents and their children indicate that parents today, including Korean American parents, need family discipleship. A significant number of the next generation are leaving the church and their faith every year. Many Korean parents do not understand why their children drift away from the church and faith. They do not know the biblical responsibility of parents to disciple children in the home. While they never practice family discipleship, they still believe that their children will be exceptions and will not leave the church and their faith. Many immigrant Korean Americans came to America to pursue their American Dream. Secular life goals lead parents and children to busy lifestyles. The parents and children suffer from linguistic, cultural, and generational barriers at home as these three significant obstacles become greater and bigger every day. These barriers make Korean immigrant parents believe it is impossible to teach children the Word of God at home. This project motivated and equipped Korean immigrant parents to disciple their children at home by involving those parents in six weeks of Bible study materials on family discipleship and biblical parenting. This study also motivated and equipped the parents to break down linguistic, cultural, and generational walls between parents and children so parents could build heart connections with their children. Parents who experienced the six-week study showed changed attitudes concerning the power of family discipleship through heart connections and becoming the primary faith influencers of their children at home.
