If you spend 5 minutes on each section: prepare, praise and prayer, you will have interceded for 15 minutes on behalf of the persecuted.

Prepare Your Heart

This is a 7-minute video testimony of one pastor who was martyred but his ministry led to over 1,000 North Koreans being discipled in the ways of Jesus.

Praise

• We praise you for the many ethnic Korean Christians living in the neighboring provinces of China. Many try to shelter North Korean refugees and share the gospel with them, but they are punished if caught harboring refugees.
• We praise you for the many refugees who find Jesus through the kindness of Christians who help them. We also praise you that some converted North Korean escapees return home to take back the gospel at extreme risk to their own lives.

Prayer

• Pray for the Chinese authorities who are caught between the international pressure against the inhumane repatriation of North Korean refugees and the awkward loyalty that China maintains with North Korea.
• Pray for the North Korean refugees in China who must live in hiding and are hunted by Chinese and North Korean agents.
• Pray for the 70% – 90% of female refugees who are forced into marriages or sold into the sex trade.
