Voice of the Martyrs Launches Campaign for Korean Chinese Christian Kidnapped by North Korea

April 27, 2020 by Staff

(International Christian Concern) An ethnic Korean Chinese Christian, Jang Moon Seok, who ministered to North Koreans in Changbai, China as a deacon alongside martyred Pastor Han Chung-Ryeol, spent his 2,000th day in a prison inside of North Korea while his coworkers mobilized a global letter writing campaign urging his release.

Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) Korea representative Dr. Hyun Sook Foley shared, “Deacon Jang, who is also known by his Chinese name Zhang Wen Shi, is an ethnically Korean Chinese citizen who was kidnapped in November 2014 from China and put in a North Korean prison.”

She continued, “We believe the reason for his kidnapping was to gather information about the North Korean ministry work we were doing with Pastor Han.” Fifteen months after Deacon Jang’s kidnapping and arrest, Pastor Han was lured from his home and stabbed to death in Changbai.
