Subject: 2 'Focus on North Korea' VOM events...September 18 and 19!

Greetings friends of VOM and the persecuted Church!

 

North Korea is one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world. The country denies human rights to its citizens. North Korea is the worst perpetrator of persecution against Christian's in the world. Christians must practice their faith in deep secrecy and are in constant danger, though many continue to stand strong under relentless persecution. Despite harsh conditions, Christians are quietly adding to their numbers daily.

 

Please join us as we focus on the persecuted church in North Korea. You can attend our Friday September 18 evening session or our more in-depth Saturday September 19 all-day conference. Come and be challenged and encouraged by the faithfulness of our brothers and sisters and learn how we can pray and be involved in reaching into this nation. See attached flyer for information on the conference or visitwww.vommeetings.com

 

Speakers include:

 

"Esther" was born in North Korea and defected to China in 2000, where she met the Lord. She felt God calling her back inside NK and she was captured and imprisoned upon her return. But God gave her a ministry behind bars, and she promised a cell mate that she would share their story with the world if she ever got out. Following her miraculous release in 2006, she is making good on that promise. Her story will soon be released as a book by The Voice of The Martyrs in Canada and Korea. This is her first public appearance in the U.S.

 

Mr. Choi was a successful businessman who left his comfortable life in South Korea to reach North Koreans with the gospel in China. Mr. Choi brought the love and knowledge of Christ to so many North Korean refugees he was jailed by the Chinese for his "crime." During his more than two years in prison, he was tortured for continuing his evangelism. Near death, he was released by the Chinese and he now serves as Director of The Voice of the Martyrs in Korea.

 

The Reverend Eric Foley and his wife Mrs. Hyun Sook Foley founded The Voice of The Martyrs Korea, to support the work of the indigenous underground church in North Korea. The Foleys oversee a far-flung staff in the US and all across Asia which walks daily with North Koreans in order to help them accomplish the calling God has on each of their lives.

 

There is no charge to attend these gatherings but an offering will be received. Registration is required. For more information and to register, visit www.vommeetings.com or contact Phyllis at (877) 337-0302 or e-mail pcummins@vom-usa.org
