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
