[Prayer] North Korean believers who commemorate Christmas secretly!
Open Doors USA recently announced five countries that prohibit Christmas: Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Tajikistan, Burundi, and North Korea. North Korea even sentences the death penalty to those holding the Bible. Surprisingly, many Christians in North Korea risk keeping Christmas secretly. An Open Doors official explained that they worshiped in silent in a rare forest or worshiped in the corner of the outdoor restroom of the labor camp. They commemorate Christmas even in an imminent situation where their lives are at serious risk.
Prayer is needed for the North Korean believers who keep their faith in the midst of severe persecution and oppression.
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed,
but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down,
but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.”
2 Corinthians 4:8-10
