North Korean Christians Receive Bibles

[161] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for underground Christians.

Front-line workers are making new connections with Christians in the underground church and distributing Bibles into North Korea through many methods, new and old. Owning a Bible or even portions of Scripture is extremely risky in North Korea. After a recent meeting with front-line workers and North Korean Christians, VOM President Cole Richards shared, “Few North Koreans have ever had access to Scripture — or even to the core gospel message — because of the Communist-inspired regime’s unceasing efforts to restrict access. Our passion for God and his holy word should lead us to pay any price to bring it to North Koreans.” Pray for the underground Christians who are receiving Bibles through the efforts of bold Christians working to bring God’s Word to the North Korean people.

  • I pray Jesus that you will hinder and disrupt the efforts of those who try to stop the gospels message and the delivery of bibles in North Korea. I pray that the gospel will explode and that evangelism that the government can't contain will break out. I pray for salvation of everyone in North Korea. Strength and comfort for all believers there. Amen.
