Sunday, November 4 is International Day of Prayer for the persecuted church. Voice of the Martyrs and Open Doors are 2 resources I love to help guide me in prayer for the church worldwide. They provide guides for IDOP, with Open Doors specifically focusing on North Korea.
- Pray with North Korean Christians for their protection, strength and endurance. They face persecution from state authorities and their non-Christian families, friends and neighbors.
- Pray that North Korean President Kim Jong-un and his regime will come to know the one true God and open his country to the gospel for healing and restoration.
- Pray that God will move on Kim Jong-un to release the estimated 50,000 Christians who are unjustly held in detention centers and prison camps throughout the country.
- Pray that the underground church would grow in boldness and be ready for widespread evangelism efforts when the opportunity arises.
- Pray that Kim Jong-un will allow for the creation of new churches where North Koreans can freely worship.
Here is their month long list of prayer suggestions for November. They provide a new suggestion for each new country daily. Close to my heart are Cameroon and Pakistan, but as you can see, there are so many.
