“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28, 19-20). This great commission in the Gospel Matthew is clearly a mandate for mission and teaching. Under this supreme commission, the church must bear the witness from Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the end of the earth and also teach the people to become complete Christians. Those unbelievers must be taught to become the believers and the believers, the true believers. The Christians must be taught about Jesus through the Bible. The Church must be industrious in teaching the Christians to be do mission works through obedience, making the world to believe in the gospels. The Edinburgh World Missionary Conference in 1910 was the fruit of mission works up to 19th century and also provided an opportunity to create a future mission works. The mission education received the same benefit. The mission education during the 18th and 19th centuries can be classified into three classifications; the first is the pietism through which spiritual revival could be achieved. The second is the mission expansion by the missionaries with the mission literatures and funds to support the mission works. These movements, later, were responsible for creating mission networks and sects. The third is the establishment of the colleges for the teachings of the missions in the 19th century. Prior to the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference, there were the mission conference at Liverpool, 1860, London, 1880, New York, 1900 and others. Preparatory Committee for the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference in 1910, recognizing the prior London and New York conference, called its meeting as the third Ecumenical missionary conference. But the Edinburgh called “The Evangelization of the World in This Generation” as its slogan, giving inspiration for 'Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Mission' in 1880 and 1890s. However, after the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference, the movements for sects and orders, evangelism and ecumenicalism created problems including the separation of the teachings for the believers and the non-believers, and of the gospel and the culture. In conclusion, it should be clarify to divide between the mission education to focus on ‘already’ christians and education mission, ‘yet’ christians. The 1910 Edinburgh Missionary Conference assigned the Eight Commissions. The Commission Ⅲ dealt with the education for the mission. Education in relation to “the Christianization of national life” and focused on the reason why the education for the mission is necessary for the non-Western world people. The education for the mission included the general welfare promotions but the main emphasis was to integrating the Christian spirits into the their lifes. To do that, the mission works must be integrated into their schools. Secondly, teachers in the schools must be trained and educated and thirdly, the leaders in the communities must be schooled in the Christianity. These were reported as the evangelical, edificatory and Leavening. Finally, it is also reported that it is the express of ‘the philanthropic desire to promote the general welfare of the people’. As the concrete example of the third issue, it is reported that education is a part of the mission works, the strategy for the Three-Self Church, is for expansion of the Christianity and towards universal key. Especially it is admitted that the christian mission schools are the major institutions to convert non-christians, but never easy. Additionally, Rev. Samuel A. Moffett submitted his evaluation of the Mission works and education through ‘Bible Training Classes’ in Korea.
