What is CFK?
Christian Friends of Korea is a group of people who are seeking to serve Christ by ministering in His name among the people of North Korea. In recent years, this has been primarily through providing humanitarian aid. We are incorporated in the State of North Carolina and registered as a tax-exempt 501(c)3 non-profit. We are members of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and Technical Exchange for Christian Healthcare (TECH).
What does CFK do?
CFK sends humanitarian aid in the form of food, medicine, agricultural supplies, bedding and blankets, medical equipment and supplies and other needed goods to hospitals and other facilities in North Korea, regularly confirming delivery and distribution of all goods sent. We are also involved in multiple health care facilities renovation and re-equipping projects in partnership with DPRK local officials and staff, conduct joint training/technical exchange and respond to specific requests as we are able.
What is CFK's motivation?
In recent days in particular, some have asked why we are doing this work in North Korea. With all that is going on in the news regarding the political, security and diplomatic tensions, should the assistance continue?
Our response is simple – as followers of Christ, are compelled by grace to obey his command to feed the hungry and heal the sick. (Matthew 25: 31-46) We have a rare opportunity to minister to those who are suffering in North Korea, we confirm delivery of what we send, and we learn of new needs each time we visit. As long as we are able to do these things, and God provides the means for us to help through His people, we will continue in these efforts. We pray you will partner with us as we seek to serve our Savior and the needs of our brothers and sisters in North Korea
