Pray for North Korean Defectors Who Are Learning Jesus' Ways

[498] prayers in [22] nations have been posted for North Korean Defectors.

North Korean citizens are required to attend weekly self-criticism meetings, in which they report on what their neighbors have been doing. “We see these tendencies spill over into the lives of [new believers],” said a VOM Korea worker who runs a discipleship program for North Korean defectors. Members of the discipleship program join in order to deepen their spiritual lives and unlearn ideas that have been programmed into them by the North Korean regime. At a recent retreat, the VOM Korea worker noticed that when students spent time in small groups praying for and confessing to each other, the gossip and criticism between them stopped. “They came together, and God used each one of them to minister to someone else,” the worker said. Pray that God’s love will conquer their tendencies toward gossip and criticism.
