why
north korea? The Silence must be Broken.
North Korea's government is
systematically attempting to exterminate Christianity.
State enforced Idolatry.
North Korea's isolation has
enabled it's leaders to brainwash the population and teach them
unquestioning obedience to their authority. The leaders Kim IL Sung
(deceased) and his son Kim Jong IL instituted a personality cult in which
they are worshipped. No belief in a higher authority is allowed. Being a
Christian is a criminal act.
Horrific Persecution of
Christians.
Before the communist regime was
installed, North Korea was the centre of revival and Pyongyang was known
as the Jerusalem of the East. Kim IL Sung, when he was alive ordered that
3 generations of a Christian's family must be eliminated. Many Christians
have been executed and others have been imprisoned where they are subject
to severe torture and abuse. We believe that the suffering of the
Christians in North Korea may be the worst anywhere in the world.
