NORTH KOREA
North Korea continues to prohibit all Christian activity. ‘The policy against Christians has remained steady since at least the 1950s – and is arguably the longest, harshest persecution of Christians in recorded history,’ said Dr Eric Foley, CEO of our associate ministry Voice of the Martyrs Korea.
‘It’s hard to lock down an underground church. Not even authorities hostile to the gospel plus a virus can accomplish that. Accordingly, underground Christians in North Korea have viewed the coronavirus as an act of God that opens new opportunities for them, and the concomitant grace and resources to meet the requirements of those opportunities. This has been the most creative year we have witnessed in the underground church to date.’ Release International.
