NK Christians 1

If a North Korean has a Bible,  she or he is in serious danger.  

"Of the 300,000 North Korean Christians that the government recognizes, 70,000 of them are in forced labor camps . . . Most of them never come out. They could get a 50-year prison sentence for owning a Bible or simply being caught in a prayer meeting or worship service.

"The average life expectancy for a Christian in these camps is only three years. Many of them are beaten, tortured and prodded with electric stun batons. They even have experimental surgeries done on them, sending them into a coma or vegetative state."

Vernon Brewer of World Help has been finding ways to help Christian believers there for ten years. When someone asks how to pray for those people, he tells them "If your son or daughter were in one of those forced labor camps, how would you pray?’"
