In a very rare event, Jang Seok, a Chinese Christian, was released from a North Korean prison after serving 11 years. This is a significant answer to prayer. Jang lived in China near the border of North Korea. Jang “regularly hosted North Koreans who secretly came across the border, sometimes for weeks, providing them with practical aid such as warm clothing, food and supplies they might need for their return home to North Korea. He saw it as his Christian duty to welcome the stranger, cloth the naked and care for the sick. He also shared the gospel with North Koreans and some became Christians and attended Bible training at his home. He also taught them how to share the gospel with their loved ones.” North Korean security police entered China in 2014 and abducted Jang for his Christian ministry to North Koreans. He was sentenced to prison in North Korea for “defaming the regime, attempting to incite subversion of state power and providing aid and gospel to North Koreans.” Heavenly Father, we rejoice that Jang Seok has been miraculously released from prison in North Korea. He survived the brutal conditions by the power of the Holy Spirit. Now that he is free, protect him from further harm. Keep him safe from those who might still wish him harm. Give him wisdom to know how to serve You in the future. Bring healing to his body, soul and spirit. Surround him with his family and Christian believers. Continue to use him for Your glory in the future. In Your great name we pray. Amen. “He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.” – Psalm 91:4 https://www.churchinchains.ie/prisoner.../jang-moon-seok/ Photo: Church In Chains
