In Prison for Doing Good

Is your name on a "most wanted" list because of your faith and work for Jesus Christ?   Most of us don't have to worry about being on the most wanted list, but for our dear brother Mr. Choi (pictured), who is a Korean Christian, his name is.

As you read this wonderful faith inspiring testimony that is on the Voice of the Martyrs Kids of Courage website, join me in praying for the highlighted family and also ask the Lord to make you a bold witness for Christ.

Here's part of the article to whet your appetite.  Enjoy.

Telling the Story of Jesus

“I am a Christian,” Mr. Choi told an officer who questioned him after he was arrested. “I believe in only one God. As his servant, I serve him alone. According to his word, I have done a righteous work [by helping the North Koreans].”

In prison, Mr. Choi shared the gospel with many prisoners. The guards told him he would not get out of prison for five years if he kept telling people about Jesus. Mr. Choi answered, “The responsibility of a Christian is not only to believe in Jesus but also to tell the story of Christ to other people. … I am willing to spend the full five-year sentence in prison.”

The Letter

Mr. Choi’s family did not know what was happening to him. Mr. Choi wanted to send them a letter, but prisoners were not allowed to write letters. Using a piece of wire, he cut words and letters out of his Bible. Then he used glue made out of rice to form the words into sentences in a message. He secretly worked eight hours a day for 17 days to finish the letter. A Korean official then helped him get the letter to his family.
