I would like to thank Janet Parshall for talking about this on her program today and sharing the sound from this conference.

Christian Today also covers the concerns of the UK concerning the persecution of Christians in Asia.

The Christian Post has this wonderful story about how the UK is debating the persecution going on in Asia.

2 Corinthians 10:4 - 5 says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ".

Barbara Slavin, USA TODAY writes an article titled, "Rights meeting spotlights N. Korea abuses at key diplomacy time" . The gist of the article is about the abuse of North Korea towards humans. It is very very sad.

I love World Net Daily because they really care about the persecuted church. When you look at their great website you see images from VOM all over the place and I want to thank them publically for their love for our brothers and sisters.

The Christian Post has reported on this very important story concerning the women who are being accused of the "Christianization" of children.

A Christian missionary jailed in North Korea has done what many prisoners in the communist state never do - he has emerged alive to tell about his horrific experience. The testimony of a Korean-Chinese man referred to only as "Lee" to protect his identity recently was obtained by The Voice of the Martyrs. The missionary says a woman in his Chinese church gave him an ID number to use in traveling to North Korea, saying it belonged to her cousin. When authorities saw the ID number, they immediately arrested Lee, who later discovered the woman was a North Korean spy. He had been set up. Wrote Lee of his prison experience: "Between March 5 and 19, I was interrogated daily. Because of the beatings I began to have severe pains in my liver and kidney." Lee says at one point the authorities believed he was near death, so they transferred him to another location and fed him well to make sure he stayed alive. "Within two weeks I had recovered, so they brought me back to the interrogation center where I was again beaten and tortured for another 54 days," wrote Lee. Why torture a man for weeks on end? Stated Lee: "My No. 1 crime against the People's Republic of Korea is that for the past eight years I have been spreading the gospel in North Korea and bringing people to Christ." Lee says his heroes are those Christians who have endured hardship, torture and the loss of their lives - but who never denounced their faith: "They truly live and die for the Gospel, and they are my heroes. Though their lives were short, what they've done will forever shine with Christ
