Healing the Nations Podcast (w/ Jaehwa Shim) Episode 33 (Imprisoned for keeping the Sabbath)

For this episode of Healing the Nations Podcast, we are blessed to have Jaehwa Shim, an English teacher living near Seoul, South Korea in this religious liberty testimony episode.  In South Korea, all adult males are required to fulfill mandatory military service for almost two years.  In the South Korean military, religious accommodations are often difficult.   In this episode, Jaehwa shares his experience of being court-martialed and later imprisoned because he wanted to keep the Sabbath during his military service.  This is an inspiring testimony of faith, courage, and reliance on God to overcome a challenge to liberty of conscience.   

Jaehwa currently operates a homeschool co-op with his wife Lily, near Seoul, South Korea.  He is also very passionate about Sabbath School as a ministry for outreach and evangelism at the Sahmyook International SDA Church and heads a young adult ministry called Jaerim.
