#1 My cousin married a Korean lady who is a daughter of a Baptist minister from Seoul. I am not surprised at this. There are many mainstream Protestants and Roman Catholics in Korea.

#3 South Korean Christians have built rows of prayer closets, like phone booths, into their churches; and churches have people inside praying nearly 24-7.

Anybody from NK who shops in the neutral zone at the border is required to turn in any religious literature within 24 hours. This at least gives people a chance to look at the information. Christian businessmen have also been very creative about getting scripture verses printed on merchandise and selling them for cost. I won't say what they're printed on; let it suffice to say that the Word of God keeps going out and it never returns empty.

#4 So from now till kingdom come,
taste the words on the tip of my tongue.
'Cause we can't run truth out of town,
only force it underground.
The roots grow deeper
in ways we can't conceive.
