Through various webcasts and blogs my interest has been piqued recently, regarding the persecution of Christians in North Korea. I knew it was bad, but didn't realize that it is the worst country in the world for persecution and that they have huge prison camps where terrible atrocities are commited against Christians and other "enemies of the state". If you have a bit of time, the 2,150 word Time Magzine article, Long Walk To Freedom, is a shocking, yet information packed and intriguing story. Apparently a route for escaping North Koreans called, the Seoul Train, has been opened up and been compared to the Underground Railroad.  I highly recommend you read it.  Let's all remember to pray for the persecuted church at large, and especially North Korea.
