• The Reality of Reunification: Mar-Apr NK Prayer
  

  It is easy for many to come to the quick conclusion that the answer lies in reunification with the Republic of Korea (ROK/South Korea). No matter how alike two groups of people may be, the more time that they spend apart the more different they tend to become. It can be likened unto meeting up with an old friend from high school.

He wants it to please the Head of the church, the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants to see the day when people in that land can worship and praise Him openly. Let’s think and dream about God’s plan for the church in the DPRK.

  Ever since the end of the Korean War, the DPRK has been known as a closed country. Many do not know and understand the intrinsic values and principles of the DPRK’s unique culture and ideology.

• Does Worship Exist in North Korea?
  

  Indeed it does. In fact North Koreans are masters at worshipping and their lives of worship will rebuke anyone that tries to compare. I only visited the country once but this was the lasting impression I got from my trip. Each morning I found the exit door to my hotel building to be an entranceway to a draped city of slogans and praises to the great North Korean leaders.
