Pastor freed from North Korean prison

Deacon Jang

Deacon Jang, a Christian who worked on the border of China and North Korea, has been released from jail after 11 years.

Jang was kidnapped from China in November 2014 and sentenced to 15 years in a North Korean prison. He had been ministering to North Koreans who crossed the border into China and had seen a number of them come to faith in Christ.

Jang had been working in the town of Changbai, alongside fellow Korean-Chinese pastor, Han Chung-Ryeol, who has since been martyred.
