Son Jong Nam

 Son Jong Nam is reported dead. He was a North Korean Christian arrested for his belief. I just got this update from VOM. 
Please, dear Christian, cry with me. Cry for all of the Christians out there who are suffering. You may take their place.

Update on Son Jong Nam

In 2007 The Voice of the Martyrs made a concerted effort to publicize the arrest and imprisonment of North Korean Christian Son Jong Nam.

We have continued to follow Son Jong Nam's case since that time, in spite of difficulties getting information out of North Korea. Our contacts on the Korean peninsula have informed us that the most recent information leads them to believe that Son Jong Nam has died in prison.

We are thankful for all those who prayed for and wrote letters to Son Jong Nam; we are also thankful for his example of faithfulness to Christ in spite of trial, hardship and suffering. His suffering is over; he's arrived safely Home.

Thank you.


"These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the mids of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." (Revelation 7:14-17)

"And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-" (Revelation 2:26)

"Behold, I come quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name." (Revelation 3:11-12) 


"When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the alter the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?' And a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed." (Revelation 6:9-11) 

Dear Father,
We pray for Son Jong Nam's family, that you would uphold them and protect them. Please guard them and give them peace, knowing that Son Jong Nam is, indeed, safely Home. 
Lord protect your servants, guard them well. Give them strength and courage to stand through trials. Help them to remember, that real gold fears no fire. Father, bless them, and give them strength.
