The DPRK and Its Attitude Toward the Church
For three decades, North Korea and Albania were two countries that had no organized religion of any kind inside their borders, but that has changed. The changes first started showing up in 1974, when the Korean Christian Association was brought back. It had originally been established in 1946, but was disbanded in 1960. It could have been brought back to show the world that the DPRK has religious freedom.

Pray for North Korean settlers
Greetings in the name of the Lord. I work as a counselor at a resettlement center for people from the north who are living in the south. I am glad to meet you through this paper (note of explanation: we call these people here, “saeteomin.” This is a Korean word meaning “people who have come to live in a new land.”).
As I counsel these people (regarding various psychological problems related to their personal lives), I am trying to discover God’s heart for them. -

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. You may feel like you have just parted ways days ago, but the years that have passed while you have been apart have changed the two of you in many ways.

A Biblical and Chosun Church
What kind of church does the Lord want to see in the North? A church in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) should reflect Chosun culture and also be like the church in the New Testament. The Lord wants the church there to grow in depth and quality. He wants it to be light and salt in that culture. He wants it to grow in number. 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.
