“In primary school we were told that all missionaries were terrorists… they will be nice to you at first, but when they get you into their homes, they will kill you and eat your liver.”
Join Christians around the world on Sunday, November 3, for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church—a global prayer meeting for our Christian brothers and sisters who boldly witness for Christ at any cost.
VOM’s 2019 IDOP short film, Sang-chul: North Korea, provides a dramatic example of the challenges of following Christ inside the world’s most restricted nation. The film will inspire you and your family, group, class, or church to pray for persecuted Christians in North Korea and around the world.
Filmed on the Korean peninsula, the film shares the true story of Pastor Han, who was assassinated by North Korean agents in China because of his effective gospel work among North Koreans. The story is told through the eyes of one of Pastor Han’s disciples, Sang-chul, a man who has followed in his mentor’s footsteps by continuing to share the gospel with North Koreans despite the danger.
