A North Korean official recently told the United Nations Human Rights Council that Christian missionaries were to blame for the human right issues inside the secretive far-east nation.

"There are in the northeastern area of China so-called churches and priests exclusively engaged in hostile acts against the DPRK. They indoctrinate the illegal border crossers with anti-DPRK ideology and send them back to the DPRK with assignments of subversion, destruction, human trafficking and even terrorist acts," said North Korean Ambassador So Se Pyong in a discussion with the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Seoul USA CEO Reverend Eric Foley, whose organization has spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in multiple Asian countries, wholeheartedly disagreed with Pyong' viewpoints.

"The significance of North Korea's comments cannot be overstated. North Korea is choosing to publicly blame Christian missionaries for its human rights problems and internal difficulties," said Foley in a statement.

Foley also mentioned that North Korea is not an atheist nation that is currently persecuting Christians in Asia.

"Don't expect China to do nothing," said Foley. "If North Korea is pointing to missionaries operating in China as a source of potential North Korean instability, and if it is alleging that China is the host, then missionaries can expect an increasing crackdown on churches and discipleship bases reaching North Koreans."

Foley also believes that North Korea's stance on Christian evangelism will spread elsewhere around the world.

"From a public perception standpoint, expect that North Korea will more and more seek sympathy and support from the general global public by striking an anti-Christian chord. It may be the most important development regarding Christian ministry to North Korea in the last decade."

Kenneth Bae, an American citizen, born in South Korea, is still confined in a brutal North Korean prison after being sentenced for 15 years for his Christian faith.
