Experts on religious liberty have determined that North Korea is the most restrictive nation in the world. North Koreans suffer under the "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il, who sacrifices the needs of his people in order to bolster the power and control of his regime. Many are detained in brutal prison camps, and those on the outside are without daily necessities such as food, water and medical supplies. Christians are treated with particular cruelty.
This year, VOM is again making possible a special Christmas Blessing project that supplies believers in North Korea with gift packages that contain food, toiletries, medication, clothing and Christian literature. This on-going project, with distributions made throughout the year, helps fulfill persecuted believers' basic needs. It is a powerful way to demonstrate Christ's love and care for those standing steadfast for the Lord in North Korea.
Praise the Lord for the faithful ministry and witness of His people in North Korea. Pray for lasting provision for those without even the most basic of daily necessities. Pray the hope and message of God's plan for reconciling humanity to Himself through His Son continues to ring throughout North Korea, despite opposition and danger. Pray for the Lord to equip more workers to plant the seed of the gospel in North Korea.
