Life in North Korea
North Korea is an oppressive and totalitarian nation with no tolerance of any kind of dissent or discussion of political and economic issues. Its 23.8 million people are strictly controlled in terms of freedom of movement, assembly and association. Famine, poverty and persecution drive North Koreans to flee to China, despite the risks of being caught and repatriated. Police in both countries invest heavily in manpower and resources to arrest refugees and those helping them.
As you can see from here, North Korea is in desperate need of prayer, especially for the christians living there.
Lets use our time to pray for the people in North Korea and the christians. Lets pray that God will bring strength and comfort in times of hardship, also that God would bring peace and justice.
