Mission Statement
Christian Friends of Korea is dedicated to serving Christ by ministering in His name among the 24 million people of North Korea through the delivery and confirmation of humanitarian aid as well as construction projects and training.
Description
The Mission At Hand: Beginning in 1995, North Korea suffered from floods and drought for several successive years, leading to widespread hunger, malnutrition and disease.Since 1995, we have been blessed to send, on behalf of many longstanding partner organizations, churches, and individuals, over $61 million worth of goods to very needy segments of the population. During this time we have established trust and strong relationships with the institutions, organizations and individuals with whom we work. The humanitarian aid we send comes in the form of food, medicine, agricultural supplies and equipment, bedding and blankets, medical equipment and supplies as well as other needed goods for hospitals and rest homes in North Korea. In an effort to be sure the aid goes to those intended, we make regular confirmation trips to our 29 supported facilities. With developmental aid we are involved in the renovation of multiple health care facilities, re-equipping projects, solar powered water projects, water well drilling, greenhouse building, medical staff training--and the list continues! The need in the DPRK is extensive, but as God provides, we respond.
