Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence to Meet Kim Jang-hwan, Chairman of Far East Broadcasting in Korea View original image

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is visiting South Korea to share his faith testimony.


Former Vice President Pence will attend the 51st Far East Forum held on March 25 as the main speaker and deliver a testimony titled "My Faith, My Vision."


Pence has a deep connection with Korea. His father, Edward Pence (1929?1988), served as a U.S. Army lieutenant during the Korean War. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his achievements in the Battle of Pork Chop Hill in 1953.


In this regard, former Vice President Pence expressed his gratitude during a Veterans Day ceremony held on November 11, 2017, at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington D.C., saying he deeply empathizes with the suffering of veterans.


Kim Jang-hwan, Chairman of Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC), stated, "Former Vice President Pence will deliver an in-depth lecture on the current international situation and the Korea-U.S. alliance during his visit to Korea."


FEBC expects this forum to serve as an opportunity for evangelism by inviting not only Korean Christian leaders but also non-Christians.


Chairman Kim said, "FEBC, which has been broadcasting the Christian gospel to North Korea for 66 years through the largest civilian radio waves, will firmly establish itself as a broadcaster with an international perspective beyond Korea through the invitation and lecture of Vice President Mike Pence."



Meanwhile, FEBC held the "60th Anniversary Peace Prayer Meeting for the Korean War" in 2010 and invited former U.S. President George W. Bush, who delivered the message, "Freedom is not free."
