American And Dutch Missionaries During The 19th Century

In late 19th Century, American and Dutch missionaries started to getting in to Korea to share a gospel. Some of them just got killed without sharing any good news. Among many of the missionaries, there was one missionary who got killed as soon as he got landed. This missionary is very special in Korean church’s history.
