Christians and North Korea

Although a day late, the Washington Post today has a story discussing the significant role played by Christians in exposing gross human rights violations in North Korea.

"Christians have become the alpha and omega of the North Korean issue," said Douglas Shin, a California-based Korean American missionary, who was briefly detained by Mongolia in the 1990s for helping North Korean refugees cross the border to Mongolia from China.

"We have picked up this banner to help the North Korean people. Some people don't like using the word crusade, but that's exactly what this is -- a crusade to liberate North Korea."

Good for them.
