Pray for Hoon, Learning About Jesus in China

[450] prayers in [19] nations have been posted for Hoon.

“Hoon,” a North Korean working in China, has been learning about Jesus from a Chinese missionary for several months, but they may no longer be able to meet. Missionary “Lee” gave Hoon an MP3 player to help him study Scripture, and Lee could tell that Hoon was open to the gospel. Recently, however, China has tightened its control over those working with North Koreans, and one of Lee’s friends who is a pastor was recently interrogated by Chinese police. In addition, China has considered canceling North Korean work visas because of the country’s ongoing nuclear testing. Many North Koreans in China are uncertain whether they will be allowed to stay in the country. Pray that Lee and Hoon will be able to continue meeting and that God will prepare Hoon’s heart to receive Him through the hearing of His Word.
