Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea)
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has had extensive work in
Korea for over a century of ministry, and in spite of the division
of the country has one mission
specialist continuing to work
in North Korea.
Jungja Hong, serving at the invitation of the Korean
Christian Federation, is an artist
who uses her art to teach and communicate the gospel message
to children and youth.
Korea has experienced severe food shortages since the early 1990s.
Korean-American congregations of the PC(USA) have provided
food aid to North Koreans, as has the PC(USA) through the One
Great Hour of Sharing Offering and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.
The PC(USA) has supported the Bongsoo Church's orphanage with
donations of grain, medicine and diapers, and because of the shortage of milk cows in North Korea, it supplies soy milk to supplement the diet of babies and children. It has also supplied tons
of wheat flour to support production at the Bongsoo noodle
factory. |
