NORTH KOREA FREEDOM WEEK
April 22-29, 2007
You Can Help Save North Korean Refugees!

North Korea is a deadly place for followers of Jesus Christ. As one North Korean said, "People who believe in Christ are shot and executed.”
That’s why Open Doors USA is again joining forces with the North Korea Freedom Coalition (NKFC) to participate in North Korea Freedom Week (NKFW). Our goal is to support and strengthen Christians and help bring true freedom to all North Koreans....''

"North Korea could be compared to one large concentration camp with the entire population trapped in a nightmare that doesn’t end,” adds Moeller. “I urge you to get involved. These are our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being tortured, imprisoned and killed.”


North Korea Freedom Week includes events such as Congressional hearings, press conferences, and an international protest. Together we will raise awareness of the egregious human rights abuses of the North Korean government…including the complete lack of religious freedom.
