North Korea - Christians singing songs of thanks and victory in the midst of persecution

Secret believers in North Korea. (Summit in Vietnam on Feb 27).

- North Korea is number 1 on the 2019 World Watch List, as it has been for the last 17 years.

Open doors: "Our North Korea team recently received both encouraging and inspiring messages from North Korean secret believers whom Open Doors is equipping to strengthen and disciple the church. As you read their words, let them sink in. Take a minute to realize the significant role you play as part of the Body of Christ called to be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Spend time in prayer, lifting up our these North Korean secret believers–our brothers and sisters in Christ."

"Our North Korea team notes that 2019 will be a challenging year for North Korean secret believers and Open Doors’ underground ministry in North Korea. Despite the upcoming summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un (the leaders will meet on Feb. 27 in Vietnam for the second time in less than a year), the situation hasn’t improved for Christians and other citizens in the isolated country considered to have the world’s worst human rights violation record. Being a secret believer in North Korea is as dangerous as ever. In 2018, a number of North Korean Christians were killed for their faith. But for security reasons, we can’t share those details."
