font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;" align="justify"><span style="font-family: NanumGothic, dotum; font-size: 12pt;">김 목사는 설교에서 “청년과 청소년이 미전도종족”이라면서, “청년 선교에 관심을 가져야 한다”고 강조했다. 또한 “군병영 문화는 좋아졌지만 장병들의 신앙 생활은 열악하기 때문에 전도하기가 용이한 특수 사회가 군대”라고 말했다. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;" align="justify"><span style="font-family: NanumGothic, dotum;

font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;" align="justify"><span style="font-family: NanumGothic, dotum; font-size: 12pt;">이어 “천석봉 목사가 은퇴할 시점에 군선교에 헌신한 것은 군대에서 젊은이들에게 복음을 전하는 선교적 부르심”이라고 강조했다. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;" align="justify"><span style="font-family: NanumGothic, dotum;
