Just got off the phone with Simon, one of our Every Nation missionaries in Asia. He was calling from NYC, where he had some meetings with the US State Department and the UN concerning human rights and religious freedom.
Simon always has great testimonies, amazing open doors, and life and death prayer requests.
Along with his church planting duties, Simon oversees our ministry to North Korean refugees. Lately, he has been working with the State Department and the UN, trying to get Son Jung Nam released from a North Korean prison, where he is awaiting public execution for preaching the gospel.
Recently, Simon and underground believers helped Son Jung Nam’s daughter “Sarah” escape to a safe house, where her life is no longer in danger.
Since the National Association of Evangelical (NAE) of America is beginning to work with the UN on human rights and humanitarian projects around the world, they flew Simon from Asia to DC to talk about human rights violations in China and North Korea.
At a special dinner meeting, Simon got to meet Ban Ki Moon, the United Nations Secretary General, who, being Korean, has a deep concern for the plight of North Korean refugees.
Please pray for Simon and his family and the special projects he leads—projects that we can’t give details about without jeopardizing lives.
