We work with partners on the ground to reach North Koreans in crisis — those escaping, those in hiding, and those left behind.
Today's prayer
Around 2004–2005, 200 Bible booklets were discovered there, and around 2005–2006, underground church was uncovered. The incident came to light when a husband reported his wife, who was part of the underground church, to the State Security Department. As a result, 12 people were sent to a labor camp.

해방 전에 존재하던 3,188개 이상의 북한 교회는 공산화와 함께 모두 사라졌다. 예수를 믿거나 전하는 것이 발각되면 3대를 멸하는 핍박이 자행돼 성도들은 지하로 숨어들었다. 그러나 하나님은 그루터기 성도들이 자녀에게 신앙을 물려주고 비밀리에 전도하게 하심으로 북한 교회를 보존하셨다. 또한 1995년 전후로 식량을 구하러 나왔다가 복음을 듣고 돌아간 성도들을 통해 북한 내부에 지하교회가 세워지도록 역사하셨다.
“내가 태를 열고 해산하게 하지 않겠느냐 여호와가 말씀하신다 해산하게 하고는 내가 태를 닫겠느냐 여호와가 말씀하신다 예루살렘을 사랑하는 너희 모든 자들아 예루살렘과 함께 기뻐하고 그녀로 인하여 즐거워하라 그녀를 위하여 애곡하는 너희 모든 자들아 그녀와 함께 크게 기뻐하라” 이사야 66장 9-10절(남북한병행성경 북한어) 말씀처럼 북한 내부에서 복음을 전해 교회 개척이 이루어지게 하시는 하나님을 찬양합니다. 복음의 능력에 붙들린 북한 성도들을 통해 전도가 활발히 일어나게 하시고, 성령 충만하여 담대히 복음을 전파한 초대교회처럼 북한 교회가 세움받게 하옵소서. 지금까지 북한 내부에 세워진 1,960개 교회를 보존하여 주시고 북한 교회 개척이 더욱 가속화되게 하옵소서.
예수 그리스도의 이름으로 기도합니다. 아멘!
