North Korea


Dear Readers,

Thank you all for playing last week! I think that I will include a picture every once in a while just for fun. :-)

This week, I want to share something that's been heavy on my heart for a while now. Our Korean/Middle School Math teacher shared the video below in morning devotions one day, and ever since it has stayed in the back of my mind.



Here we are in South Korea, teaching in a Christian school, having Bible class everyday, going to our local English church every Sunday, and not so far north of us, there are Christians in North Korea who fear for their lives on a daily basis. It is almost beyond my comprehension to think about the persecution that STILL goes on not so far away from me.

This makes me feel both overwhelmingly blessed and overwhelmingly sorrowful. So...this week I want to ask each of you to take a few moments each morning to pray for the Christians in North Korea. Pray that they would have opportunities to safely meet with other believers, and pray that God would place His hand of protection on each one of them. Also, pray for a CHANGE in North Korea. Pray that the doors would be opened for the gospel of Jesus Christ to freely be preached.

We believe in a God who CAN! God CAN open the doors of North Korea, and as the Bible says in Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
