HOPE FOR THE HERMIT KINGDOM ICC builds the underground church in North Korea through daily radio messages. By Mike Anderson 14 PERSECU ION.ORG APRIL 2022 INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CONCERN
North Korea is one of the worst places to be a Christian. It’s also one of the best places to share the gospel because people are suffering under the evil regime of Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. North Koreans hunger for Christ. That’s why International Christian Concern (ICC) is committed to building the church in North Korea. ICC partners with a group to broadcast gospel radio messages twice a day into the hermit kingdom. ICC learned from a source that the morning and evening radio messages were having an impact: “God is on the move in North Korea, revival is underway, and radio broadcasting is critical.” The source shared in an email the testimonies of several defectors: “Right now, people inside North Korea want to rise up against the regime.” - Jang, a Christian in North Korea “My friend smuggled a radio from China, and I could not stop myself from listening even though I knew I could be discovered and sent to a political prison camp. Just listening secretly to the radio for three nights, decades of indoctrination were peeled away...It was through [radio] that I found out what life was like outside North Korea.” — Kim “God is working in North Korea with power. Christianity is alive in North Korea and there is revival. Many people are listening to radio broadcasts.” — Ju Children line up in front of a mural in Pyongyang, North Korea | Photo by Thomas Evans on Unsplash PERSECU ION.ORG INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CONCERN 15
