North Korea Urged to Release Christian Serving 15 Years for Spreading Gospel

Voice of the Martyrs has launched a campaign seeking the release of Jang Moon Seok, an ethnic Korean Chinese Christian who was kidnapped along the border by North Korea and sentenced to 15 years in prison for telling North Koreans about Christ

Jang recently spent his 2,000th day in prison. [Jang] is a simple man who never did anything political,” said Voice of the Martyrs Korea representative Hyun Sook Foley.

“He just helped North Korean people for many years. That should never be a crime, and Christians should join together to help Deacon Jang and his family.”

Jang was friends with pastor Han Chung-Ryeol, a Chinese man who lived along the border and discipled 1,000 North Koreans before being killed by North Korean assassins in 2016. Christian Headlines profiled Han last year. Jang ministered to defecting North Koreans in Changbai, China, alongside Pastor Han. “We believe the reason for [Jang’s] kidnapping was to gather information about the North Korean ministry work we were doing with Pastor Han,” Foley said. He is serving a 15-year prison sentence for defaming the regime, attempting to incite subversion of state power, and providing aid and the gospel to North Koreans. Several North Koreans have encountered Jang in prison since 2014, Voice of the Martyrs said. Voice of the Martyrs is urging Christians to email or write Kim Song, North Korean’s ambassador to the United Nations, advocating for Jang’s release. Emails and letters should avoid criticism and accusations,

Voice of the Martyrs said. Emails can be mailed to dpr.korea@verizon.net . Physical letters can be mailed to: Ambassador Kim Song; DPRK Permanent Mission to the United Nations; 820 2nd Ave RM 13b; New York N.Y. 10017.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

‘that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ‘

Romans 10:9
