God Bless You, John Short

Just want to say, God bless you, John Short.

Jesus told us to go into all the world, and you went.

He told us to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth, and you went to North Korea to share the gospel with your fellow man who so desperately needs it.
You took gospel tracts to one of the most-feared nations on earth, when most of us will not even take them to the local mall!
Thank you, John.
May your efforts inspire many of us to follow in your steps.

From Voice of the Martyrs website:

"After being detained for two weeks for attempting to distribute gospel tracts in North Korea, John Short, 75, was released by North Korean authorities on March 2. The Australian missionary, who resides in Hong Kong with his wife, had traveled to Pyongyang as part of a regular tour group on Feb. 15. The following day, he was questioned about the gospel tracts and subsequently detained. Upon his release, he was flown to Beijing, where he was met by officials from the Australian embassy. He is expected to return to his home in Hong Kong."
