After Two Decades, North Korea No Longer Considered World's Worst Enemy of Faith; Open Doors USA to Reveal New Top Perpetrator in Religious Persecution at '2022 World Watch List' Press Conference Jan. 19
SANTA ANA, Calif. -- There is a new top perpetrator of religious persecution, according to Open Doors' forthcoming 2022 World Watch List. For the past 20 years, North Korea has appeared at number one on the annual list, which ranks the top 50 countries where it is most difficult and dangerous to be a Christian. However, Open Doors leadership indicates that though North Korea's religious freedom violations have not improved, conditions have significantly worsened elsewhere in the world, causing a shift in ranking.

Arsonists Attack 'Church of Compassion' in Chernobyl Fallout Zone
- By Slavic Gospel Association (SGA)
U.S. ministry Slavic Gospel Association rushes to aid only church 'for miles' on edge of nuclear wasteland
The only church in the village of Mlachivka – on the edge of the Chernobyl radiation "exclusion zone" – was badly damaged by fire on Jan. 6, Christmas Eve in the region's Russian Orthodox calendar. Evidence at the scene shows arson as the cause.
The church – the only evangelical congregation for miles – is a unique place of hope and help for children living on the doorstep of a toxic wasteland, the result of the world's worst ever nuclear disaster more than three decades ago.
"This little church is a major compassion haven for so many children in a very dark place," said Michael Johnson, president of Illinois-based Slavic Gospel Association (SGA, www.sga.org), who has traveled to the area many times.
"Most of these children are from dysfunctional homes with alcoholic parents. Domestic violence is common. Pastor Nikolai's church is a unique place where they feel loved, safe, and cared for," said Johnson, who announced SGA would be helping the church rebuild.
