Facts About North Korea

-Over 3 million people have died from starvation since Kim Jung Il took power.

-An estimated 1,000 people die per day.

-There is no freedom of speech, press, or religion.

-Anyone who speaks against the government is immediately arrested, tortured, imprisoned for life in a concentration camp, or killed.

-An estimated 250,000 North Koreans are held in concentration camps as political prisoners.

-Tens of thousands of North Koreans cross into China to escape famine, economic privation, and political oppression.

-Around 70% of North Korean women and children who escape into China face serious exploitation, or sex trafficking.

-Given the danger of the DMZ, the North Korea-China border is the only border to which North Koreans may feasibly cross. China considers North Koreans solely as illegal immigrants--not as refugees--and repatriates them.

Prayer

1) For the liberation & restoration of North Korea.

2) For Robert Park: for healing after his experiences in North Korea; for the courage to tell the world of what he saw in North Korea.

Verses for North Korea

Psalm 82: 2-4
"How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Selah
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

Proverbs 31:8-9
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy."
