North Korean Defectors Encounter Christian Love

[58] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for N. Korean Christians.

Christian workers in South Korea have developed specific strategies to aid and show Christ’s love to newly arrived North Korean defectors. Pray for Mrs. R., one of these new arrivals, who was so moved by the care shown to her that she is already taking steps to visit and minister to other new North Korean defectors. Pray also for Mrs. G., a North Korean defector with serious health difficulties who has experienced God through the kindness of Christians and is now taking steps to read the Bible. Ask the Lord to draw many North Koreans, like these two women, to himself through the transforming message of the gospel that is carried to them through other North Korean Christians.
