South Korean Christians Pray for Freedom in North Korea

“We are praying every night for the liberation of those Korean people, and all the country members should shout together for the freedom of those Korean people,” said Professor Yong Hee Lee, president of the Esther Prayer Movement.

Professor Lee says that after learning of the horror in North Korea, he asked God to give him a heart for the people there.

Professor Lee noted that North Korea, unfortunately, ranks among the worst in many of the world’s categories concerning the quality of life: it ranks the lowest in democracy, economic freedom, and freedom of speech; it’s highest in slavery, bribery, and corruption and it’s number one in Christian persecution.

He maintains the prison camps in the north resemble Nazi death camps. Drawings made by people who live there show some of the horrors. Some prisoners many of them Christian are subjected to chemical experiments.

A North Korean defector said “It’s a political prison camp and 70 percent Christian, and they’re actually, the crime is spying that’s the name of the official crime,”

The underground church has doubled since COVID, to as many as 400,000. Now, they spread the gospel by floating bottles filled with rice, money, and USB drives containing the Bible and Christian videos across the water to North Korea.

Professor Yong Hee Lee is asking Christians worldwide to join in praying for the people of North Korea to be free.  “All of the church members in the world, they should pray together pray together, and shout together for North Korean people.”
