As hard as it is to get people out of North Korea, it’s also incredibly difficult to get Bibles into North Korea.

Eric Foley with The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) Korea says, “We have to remember, at the end of the day, any means of getting a Bible into North Korea from any direction has essentially been criminalized.”

In light of North Korean Freedom Week, Christians praying for this nation remember that true spiritual freedom for North Koreans is found in the Gospel.

VOM Korea aims to do everything it can to continue getting Bibles across the North Korean border by any means necessary — something for which Foley was arrested and interrogated in South Korea four years ago.

“I said to the Lord, ‘If I can get just one more Bible into North Korea, Lord, then it would be worth it.'”

The people of North Korea desperately need hope that can’t be taken away. Whether or not they escape an earthly dictatorship, they can know freedom in the promises of Jesus Christ.

That’s why VOM Korea’s bold ministry in Bible smuggling continues.

“Every year, The Voice of the Martyrs Korea — by the grace of God and with the partnerships that we have with the Voice of the Martyrs organizations around the world — has gotten more than 40,000 Bibles a year into North Korea,” says Foley.

“Let’s do what we can to partner with underground North Korean Christians today, because today is the day for Gospel ministry in North Korea.”
