VOMK prints and distributes the North Korean dialect “Chosun” Bible. It is a translation with a fascinating history. More importantly, it is often regarded as the most accurate translation of the Bible into any Korean dialect. This Bible comes equipped with easy-to-understand notes about difficult-to-understand words (such as “salvation,” “revelation,” and “sin“) to instruct North Koreans who, due to their circumstances, are unable to receive instruction for their Bible reading. We then distribute these Bibles to North Koreans and North Korean ministries all over the world.

We use a variety of methods to distribute Bibles to people in NK by land, sea and air.

Every day, VOMK broadcasts AM, Shortwave, and satellite radio programs into North Korea and surrounding countries. All three programs consist of scripture, discipleship training, dramas, testimonies, Christian music, sermons from early Korean Christians, and important information on enduring persecution, all in the North Korean dialect. These broadcasts are created in partnership with North Korean Christians.

VOMK operates a number of discipleship bases across Asia, reaching both North Koreans who are new in the gospel and those who are discipling others. Our base leaders support the North Korean underground Christians God miraculously entrusts to us. We also supply resources to the discipleship bases of many other ministries reaching North Koreans.

North Koreans who defect to South Korea face serious social challenges. Many are ill. Some are drug addicted. Some end up in prison. Even young North Korean defectors drop out of school far more frequently than their South Korean counterparts. Many North Korean defectors simply stay in their apartments with the window shades closed, afraid to go out, afraid to sleep, depressed over being separated from their families. With its North Korean students, VOM Korea reaches out to all of these groups with the love of Christ. Through this project we meet most of the North Koreans who enter South Korea, including North Koreans who either were underground believers in North Korea or who know such underground believers. We listen and learn from all of the North Korean defectors we meet.

A school for North Korean defectors who want to learn more about the rudiments of the Christian faith. Discipleship in these classes is done according to the practices and methods of the Underground North Korean church, the early Korean church, and the persecuted church around the world.

A unique school that not only teaches North Korean defectors how to do North Korean ministry, but gives them hands-on experience in the North Korean mission field, reaching North Koreans wherever they are found. Students in this class learn to be missionaries the only way it’s possible to learn to be missionaries—through first-hand mission experience.
