1. Most Christians fled to the South during the Korean War or died as martyrs. Now if you even say the name “Jesus” aloud you may die for it. Pray for North Korean believers to persevere in probably the most difficult country for Christians.
2. Access to ministry in North Korea is greater than commonly perceived. Foreign NGOs, both Korean and Western, are on site through aid and development projects. Strict limitations on ministry are in place. Pray for the ability of these agencies to spread the Gospel in North Korea. Pray that they may find favor with the authorities.
3. Reunification of North and South is a wish and a prayer for most Koreans on both sides of the demilitarized zone, but on very different terms. Pray for healing amongst these people groups and governments. Pray for the Spirit of understanding amongst them.
