Episodes

  1. North Korea: Let the children come...to Kim

    From cradle to grave, Kim owns his people. (A 2007 recording. Do you think things are different today? Please keep praying for today's NK and today's Kim)

  2. Christians executed in North Korea

    Stories of believers losing their lives for their faith in North Korea. From 2007 but true today...

  3. The Unknown Martyrs of North Korea

    Nothing flashy or newsworthy about being a prisoner of Christ.

  4. North Korea: Tearful reunions and farewells

    Kim Jong Il allows a few families to say hello, goodbye, highlighting the ongoing NK tragedy. That was 2007. And is there a huge stream of traffic there in 2026?

  5. North Korea: Not exactly Grand Central Station

    Mini train ride allowed by Kim Jong Il. That was 2007. I wonder if son "Un" has any such excusrions planned for 2026?

  6. North Korea: Who will hear the Korean cry?

    Human rights abuses in North Korea documented. 2007. Same sad story in 2026.

  7. North Korea: Believers are still protest-ants

    Groups that protest and pray for the deteriorating situation in North Korea. That was 2007. Today, NK still tops the list of the worst places for Christians to be. Very little has changed. Will you pray?

  8. North Korea: The war that never ended

    Overview of the Korean War, its beginnings and the truce that did not end it. Amazing how so much of this still sounds like today's news, though it goes back to 2007!

  9. The unreported news of North Korea

    Stories of the believers and refugees that do not make the news. But the news is known in Heaven, yes? From 2007, and current today.

  10. North Korea: Praise unimaginable

    1000 persons given free cataract surgery, many can see for the first time ever, and they are forced to give praise to Kim Jong Il. A 2006 National Geographic video tells the awful story of a family (Kim) trying to replace God Almighty. Pray for North Korea!

  11. North Korea: My father deserved the firing squad

    North Koreans are totally brainwashed from a young age. 2002. 2007. Little has changed. The Kim family still reigns and represses the people of God. Won't you pray?

  12. North Korea: God's billion-man army

    Discussion of Psalm 37 in the North Korea context. An old audio, showing its age in the inferior quality of the recording, but showing its 21st century relevance at the same time. North Korea still stands doing its awful deeds to this day to God's people.

  13. North Korea: Righteousness exalts a nation.

    How God honors a nation that honors Him. From 2007

  14. North Korea: 'He couldn't see beyond his diploma.'

    How brainwashing affects North Koreans. From 2007. Blogsite has changed etc. But story is same and current. Please pray.

  15. North Korea: Jesus shall reign where'er the sun...

    Contrasting the One Who is Worthy with the one who is not. (2007)

  16. North Korea: The incredible case of Kim Hyun Hee

    Young North Korean girl blows up airplane, but is pardoned by the judge and by God. Amazing story. Chosunhouse.com no longer exists, but hundreds of audios like this one are available on this site, under "North Korea" in the search feature.

  17. North Korea: 'Is it worth dying for Jesus?'

    A man loses all his fingers but gains a mission for Christ. From 2007. But valid today. Visit my blogsite or other episodes of this podcast to continue your hearing of what Open Doors ministry has listed year after year as the most awful place in the world for believers in Jesus.

  18. North Korea: 'Just look for the cross.'

    Unstoppable witness for Christ in North Korea. Note: Chosunhouse.com no longer exists, but if you will click the link at this episode you will be taken to my present blog. And there are hundreds of audios here at the Word and the Cross podcast that feature North Korea. Little has changed. God's...

  19. North Korea: 'Just deny Christ, and cross the line.'

    Survivor of attempt to annihilate 190 Christians tells his story. A re-publishing of a North Korean story, with the idea that evil continues on in that nation against your brothers and sisters. (Chosunhouse.com no longer exists, fyi. All Korean stories are right here on this site.)

  20. North Korea: Executed right in front of me!

    A young North Korean learns in a painful way what it means to be a Christian. Note: "Chosun House" no longer exists, but hundreds of the audios from that site are right here. Just search for "North Korea" under episodes. This audio first published in 2007.

  21. North Korea: Beaten to death for bringing a Bible

    A North Korean man is asked for a Bible but cannot bring himself to give it up. This older audio is brought forth now to remind you that essentially North Korea is the same today as it has always been... Websites mentioned on this 2007 audio no longer exist, but hundreds of NK audios are on this...

  22. North Korea: We waited 40 years for Communion!

    North Korean believers unable to be baptized or take Communion are sent a man of God. This audio is 19 years old and is poorly recorded, but tells a story that could well have happened this week in North Korea. Please disregard all references to chosunhouse.com, which no longer exists. All my…

  23. North Korea: 'I wish I hadn't done my homework!'

    A child's new teacher assigns the bringing in of her parents' 'Black Book.' She does her assignment but regrets it all her life. Based on true story.

    more
  24. 'I want to return to North Korea!'

    In 2007 I was just beginning my public telling of the horrors of a land ruled by atheists. The sites I mention on this short audio no longer exist. However, hundreds of these audios have been preserved right here on the Word and the Cross Podcast. Just go to episodes and search for "North Korea."...

  25. North Korea: The Villagers of Goksan

    It was 2007 when I began recording the horrors of the North Korean regime. Not much has changed today. The Kims still rule. God's people still suffer. Much of the peripheral information in this 2007 audio has changed, and the sound quality is very poor. But the message is clear. Pray for the…

    Updating "Open Doors", a wonderful group that ministers in North Korea. Also, the story of "Ae-Cha" should cause you to pray today. At least that is my intention.

    We don't like talking refugees these days because of terror threats. Understood. But take a listen to the genuine article, coming out of North Korea. Stories that should disturb us and bring us to serious prayer.

    A little of the Kenneth Bae story, plus some older stories of NK atrocities... that you will pray.

  48. North Korea: Miracle Kim meets Graham

  49. North Korea: Don't fold Kim's face!
