‘They slowly build a friendship’
Describing how the students were approached, the student said the process was gradual. According to him, people would meet students around the Arts Faculty and other university areas, develop friendships, and ask about their personal and academic difficulties.
“They ask about our situations, what problems we are facing, and say, ‘No problem, kid, we are here to help you,’” he said.
He claimed that the students were initially offered help with academic issues and other problems. They were later invited to gatherings on Sundays, where Christian religious activities were gradually introduced.
Movies, food and prayer sessions
The student also revealed that these Sunday programmes included movies, meals and prayer sessions. He said students were introduced to Christian teachings over time rather than being directly asked to convert during their first interaction.
“They slowly present things related to Christian faith and rules, movies are shown, lunch and dinner are provided, and then gradually prayers are conducted,” he claimed.
According to the student, such programmes were held regularly on Sundays and holidays. He further added that students were gradually exposed to Christian teachings until some were eventually encouraged to convert.
“No one directly asks you to turn Christian right away. But over time, they target us, and eventually, a point comes when they start pressuring us to convert to Christianity,” he said.
The student claimed that those encouraging conversion would tell students that Christianity could provide solutions to their problems and would highlight what they described as the religion’s “superiority” and the sense of community among its followers.
Financial and academic support promised
When asked whether students were offered specific incentives, such as help with PhD admissions, the student said he had not personally encountered such an offer. However, he added that financial assistance and academic support were promised.
“Not that kind of help, but they promise financial support. They say they will help financially and assist with any academic difficulties,” he said. The student also claimed that those who did not convert were not directly punished. But students who had already converted sometimes put pressure on others by linking their personal problems to their religious beliefs.
The student further claimed that several other students attended these gatherings and that foreign nationals were also present.
“Yes, foreigners are present,” he said, adding that the nationality of those attending could vary depending on the group organising the gathering. “If we go with a Korean group, you’ll see Korean Christians there. If we go with American Christians, you’ll find American Christians there.”
