(FAISALABAD, Pakistan) - At least 200,000 North Korean citizens, including many of our Christian brothers and sisters, suffer under brutal conditions in six confirmed labor camps for political prisoners. Among the camps are:-

*Camp 14, which is known as a “complete control district,” meaning its 50,000 prisoners will work there until death.

*Camp 22, which is about the size of Los Angeles in area and is thought to be used for human experiments. It also holds about 50,000 prisoners.

*Camp 25, a camp controlled by the North Korean secret police and believed to hold felons, religious leaders and spies and their families.

Very few North Koreans have survived detention in a labor camp. Although the average sentence is 15 years, the average life expectancy in a labor camp is only seven years. Up to three generations of entire families have been detained in government efforts to “root out class enemies. The PSSWS continue to share message of Jesus Christ and pray for Brother Jo Chung-Hee and all North Koreans, believers & God's workers and the underground church. If you would like to consider financial help of Brother Jo Chung-Hee and all persecuted poor Christian North Koreans man/women through The PSSWS.

Testimony of Brother Jo Chung-Hee from North Korea

Brother Jo Chung-Hee, a former member of the Communist Party in North Korea, recently completed a year of Bible study and special training in preparation for gospel outreach work to his homeland. After escaping from North Korea, Jo Chung-Hee realized he had been part of the great deception taught by the country's leaders.

He once believed that the late communist dictators Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il were, respectively, god and the son of god, but Jo read the Bible for himself and met the real Savior, Jesus Christ. Immediately after completing his training, Jo Chung-Hee joined workers along the North Korean border launching Scripture balloons produced. After proceeding to Russia, he began outreach work at the train station, where North Korean immigrant workers disembark. Jo Chung-Hee has one mission in mind sharing with his countrymen the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
