SUMMARY:Silent no More: A North Korean Testimony
DESCRIPTION:Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) host a North Korean defector in Scotland next month to share his story of Christian persecution. \nTimothy Cho is a North Korean human rights activist and two-time defector\, who has found refuge in the UK and now advocates for religious freedom around the world. \nSilent No More: A North Korean Testimony will see Timothy share his remarkable journey\, discussing how faith has shaped his path and what life is like for Christians in North Korea. The evening at St Joseph’s Clarkston will shine a light on a subject which rarely makes the news agenda in this country. \nIt is even rarer for a Christian from North Korea to be able to share their gripping story first-hand\, making this an event like no other for those in Scotland. \nTimothy was born during the 1980s and endured the infamous Great Famine\, which resulted in 3.5 million deaths across the nation. \nCho managed to flee to China when he was a teenager; however\, he was soon deported back and was immediately sent to a detention centre\, where there was extreme overcrowding. \nIncredibly\, Cho was sent to the Philippines rather than North Korea. Many would see such an event as an act of God. From there\, Cho eventually made it to the United Kingdom. \nTimothy attributes his survival to God and since arriving in the UK he has deepened his Christian faith\, advocating for persecuted Christians around the world. \nNow\, in a one-off event hosted by ACN Scotland\, you will have the chance to hear Timothy’s powerful witness in Christ. \nWilliam More\, Manager of Operations in Scotland\, said: “In one of the most closed and oppressive regimes in the world\, simply believing in God can cost you everything. Join us for an extraordinary evening as a North Korean dissident shares his powerful personal story of faith\, suffering and survival under a regime that demands total allegiance to its supreme leader. \n“In a land where Christianity is outlawed and the faithful are driven underground\, Timothy’s testimony offers a rare glimpse into the courage of those who risk their lives to hold onto their belief in Christ. This is a one-off event – it is a witness to truth\, a call to solidarity and a reminder of the price of faith in places where freedom is just a dream. \n“Don’t miss this opportunity to hear a voice that was never meant to be heard.” \nSilent No More takes place at St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Clarkston on 10th September from 7pm to 9pm.
