Tim Peters talks about the underground church in North Korea. Click circle to watch video (2m). 'Religious persecution is absolute inside North Korea. Christians outside the few state-run 'show churches' are not allowed to have a Bible, are forbidden to gather. If it is revealed that a family is Christian, then not only the one who has committed this state crime would be taken off to a political prison camp, but that individual's children, and their parents: three generations. This is possibly the most severe Christian persecution that exists in the world.' Tim Peters, Helping Hands Korea.
