North Korea’s Largest Concentration Camps on...
THIS IS THE HORRIFIC TRUTH OF NK
The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea estimates that North Korea holds approximately 200,000 people in its system of concentration and detention camps, and that 400,000 people have died in these camps from torture, starvation, disease, and execution. These reports, in the context of estimates that North Korea has allowed between 600,000 and 2,500,000 of...
주 앞에 나와 제사를 드리네 마음열어 내 삶을 드리네 주를 봅니다 끝없는 사랑 날 회복 시키네 이제 눈 들어 주 보네 그 능력 날 새롭게 해 주님의 사랑 날 만지시니 내 모든 두려움 사라지네 폭풍 속에도 주 붙들고 믿음으로 주와 걷네 갈보리 언덕 너머 그 어느날 주안에 온전케 되리
China Profile
China is another country that God has given me a heart for as I grew to love North Korea. Many of you guys might think once NK refugees escape to China, everything is safe and ready for resettlement- no, it is wrong. The Chinese government classifies all North Koreans in China “illegal economic migrants” and denies the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees access...

eyeshousepping
so we found this cute little house on Biola classified website and immediately few of the girls drove to check it out in advance for junior year housing. We’ve been talking about living together in an apartment but this is way better than what we thought. I mean, it’s not guaranteed that we will get this house- apparently this house is super competitive to get into, but we are already...
“New Citizen” Teenagers in South Korea
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27
Many of the North Koreans who settle in South Korea are teenagers and young people. Some churches in Seoul have been working to help them adjust. One church provides apartments for young girls arriving in South Korea; a “housemother” from the church works with them, helping them...
Sweetly broken
At the cross You beckon me You draw me gently to my knees, and I am Lost for words, so lost in love, I wholly surrender before You
What a priceless gift, undeserved
You’ve called me out of death You’ve called me into life and I was under Your wrath Now through the cross I’m reconciled
Iam in awe of the cross I must confess how wondrous Your redeeming love and how great is Your faithfulness
Defector's Testimony #2
* Please take your time to read, especially if you are women.(or atleast the prayer points on the bottom of this post). It really really breaks my heart to know that there are women out there who are being mistreated. And I give all the thanks to the Lord for protecting me. I repent and confess of my own sin for abusing my body- the temple of Christ on my own will.

MAGNIFICIENT
Who compares to You? Who set the stars in their place? You who calmed the raging seas That came crashing over me
You are magnificent, eternally Wonderful, glorious No one ever will compare to You

Atheism in North Korea
.. What may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:19-20
Marx saw religion as a symptom that resulted from the class struggles in society. Because of...
Defector's Testimony
I have copied and pasted a written testimony of Bahng Mi Sun below:
My name is Bahng Mi Sun and I entered South Korea on January 8th, 2004. After living in hell on earth that is North Korea and coming to South Korea, I felt as though I was in heaven. I was placed in a 605 square feet rental housing unit, but compared to my previous living conditions in North Korea, this was a palace. Also, not...
James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
I confess my sin to you with my mouth, if I am bounded to my own sin I can’t do what my heart desires for Your will.
I am thirsty
All who are thirsty All who are weak Come to the fountain Dip your heart in the stream of life Let the pain and the sorrow Be washed away In the waves of his mercy
I renew my bows with You today.
*Please feel free to message me about anything! Rebuke me out of love, Iam in desperate need of good rebuking. I will let you guys define the term of “good.”
Children: The Future of Juche?
** I know I repeatedly talked about Juche but never really explained what it is. Juche [pronounced “ju-chay”] has been promoted by the North Korean government since Kim Il-Sung used the term in a speech in 1955. Juche means “self-reliance.” The basic premise is that man is the master of everything; the master of his own destiny. Juche officially replaced Marxism as North Korea’s national...

If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. 1 Corinthians 14:11
Many South Korean Christians and ethnic Koreans around the world are preparing for ministry to North Koreans. Though all Koreans look similar, their cultures and worldviews are very different. For the last 50 years North Koreans have grown up in a...

Kim Il-Sung-ism
