Zhang Wen Shi, also known as Deacon Jang, is an ethnically Korean Christian who lived and ministered in Changbai, China, a town located on China’s border with North Korea.
When North Koreans visited Changbai to conduct business, purchase items or seek medicine or other help, Deacon Jang often provided them with warm clothing, food and supplies for their return to North Korea. He also shared the gospel with those who were willing to listen.
In November 2014, Deacon Jang was abducted in China and taken to North Korea. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Since his imprisonment, several former prisoners have reported seeing or hearing about him.
Please pray for his release. Pray also for his health. Pray that fellow prisoners and guards will encounter the Lord and come to faith in Christ through the living testimony of Deacon Jang.
Please share this prayer request.
