SEOUL, South Korea -- Like most North Koreans, Son Jong Nam knew next to nothing about Christianity when he fled to neighboring China in 1998.
Eleven years later, he died back in North Korea in prison, reportedly tortured to death for trying to spread the Gospel in his native land, armed with 20 bibles and 10 cassette tapes of hymns. He was 50.
His story, pieced together by his younger brother, a defector who lives in South Korea, sheds light on a little-discussed practice: the sending back of North Korean converts to evangelize in their home country - a risky move, but one of the few ways to penetrate a country that bars most citizens from outside TV or radio and the Internet.

This man now has riches beyond what all the wealth on earth combined could provide.
RIP.
To live is Christ, to die is gain. He was a true martyr. May God bless his family.
And in our country, the government tells us our children can’t pray in school and we just lay down.
There goes another SAINT! Canonize him now!
To God be the glory for this saint’s witness to a lost people, including the captors.

They don’t just kill the individual, they punish their entire family. As evil a place as has ever been.
Agree on all counts.
This is the true way to "nation-build" and change hearts and minds.
"The people in darkness have seen a great light."
How many of us would do that? Only honest answers count.
This courageous martyr’s real and great reward is in Heaven with Jesus, a far better place than here.
Coming to an Obamaland near you.
Probably one those crazy right-wing Bible thumpers. If he’d just roll over and accept his government-granted right to breathe and eat government rations, he would still be alive today.
