THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN MONTHS AGO DURING MY TRIP TO SOUTH KOREA, RIGHT AFTER THE EX-PRESIDENT HAD COMMITTED SUICIDE…
Suicide is a big problem in this generation. The problem of suicide is a worldwide issue, but especially in the Asian regions suicide always ranks as one of the top 2 forms of death amongst Asian’s young and old. In Japan the problem of suicide has become an epidemic where youth will form “suicide clubs” on the Internet and commit suicide together as a sport or activity. In South Korea, celebrities have been committing suicide more and more, and even more recently the former president of South Korea jumped to his death from a mountainside. In Hong Kong there have been prominent celebrities who have committed suicide because of bouts with depression, while students leap to their death because of the pressures they face. I have begun to ask why suicides seems to be happening almost all the time specifically among celebrities and young people? Is there a way we can prevent more celebrity and youth suicides from happening?
A prayer in unison throughout the world on the 4 month anniversary of their imprisonment…
~~PLEASE REPOST THIS ON EVERY WEBSITE AND BLOG IN YOUR NETWORK~~
As many of you know Euna Lee and Laura Ling were sentenced by the North Korean government on June 8, 2009 to 12 years of hard labor. The two journalists were captured and detained in North Korea on March 17, 2009.
The details of their capture and trial can be read in numerous articles and websites. The purpose of this blog is to ask all of you to join together on July 17th at 8:00pm PST to say in unison a meaningful and heartfelt prayer written by Jaeson Ma especially for this event.
We realize that many of you are already praying for these two brave women and are grateful. We believe a worldwide prayer being said at the same time will bring overwhelming strength and courage to Laura Ling, Euna Lee and their families, and clarity to the North Korean and United States governments to resolve this situation quickly to bring the woman home safely.
