Description: Since the 1948 partition, North Koreans have become virtually a separate ethnocultural group from the South. They are considered the largest, least-reached people group in East Asia. Their isolation from the world has left them with little opportunity to hear the gospel.
Prayer Points:
• North Koreans live in constant fear and uncertainity abouth the future. Those interned in concentration camps number in the hundreds of thousands. An estimated 3 million have died from a decade of drought, combined with the government's inefficient rationing program and continued militarization (25% of GNP). Pray for their liberation from both political and spiritual bondage.
• North Korea is increasingly receiving investment from China. Pray that this might open doors for Chinese believers to take the gospel into the country.
• Misisonary work is dangerous and illegal in North Korea. Pray for wisdom and protection for those seeking to be a witness.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, pour out your mercy on the suffering of North Koreans. May they be rescued by your powerful right hand and taken into the embrace of your love in Jesus.
Every year 218,000 North Koreans die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
