Statuesque

Under the shadow of the Paradise Hotel, and just round the corner from Incheon Station, stands this monument to the American missionaries who arrived in the city in 1885 to spread the gospel of Christ.



From the blurb on the information board next to the monument:

"Easter Sunday, 5 April, 1885
The American missionaries, the Rev. & Mrs. Henry G. Appenzeller and the Rev. Horace G. Underwood, landed here at the risk of their lives to bring the great light of truth, the Gospel of Christ.

...

Now, as we come to the centenary, we erect this memorial with the prayer that the missionary spirit brought by these three may endure and that the river of faith arising here may sweep as a wave across the whole land and across the seas to the ends of the earth"

Indeed.
