More on Korean Christians...

So far, 2 of the Korean hostages have been killed, both men, and now 2 of the women have been released. That leaves another 21 (?) hostages, mostly women.
I found this article today. Very interesting.

Seoul is home to 11 of the world's 12 largest Christian congregations, including Yoido, which began Bible classes in a tent in 1958 and now has 800,000 members and a goal of having 5,000 churches worldwide by 2010.
It runs the Osanri Prayer Mountain retreat, where the devout can lock themselves in cubicles for prayer and fasting, and attracts a million pilgrims annually, tens of thousands of them foreigners.
