Former North Korean prisoner cries out: ‘Please pray for my people’
Recently, a former North Korean prisoner shared his prayer for his people during the COVID-19 crisis. Open Doors was there to capture his heart and his voice.
In the No. 1 most dangerous country for Christians for 19 consecutive years, Christians are spied on, abused and imprisoned for their faith. Open Doors estimates that 50,000 secret believers live within the walls of of the country’s intricate prison system.
And there is serious concern that a COVID-19 outbreak would lead to devastating results—in a country with little healthcare and dilapidated hospitals. So far, North Korea has yet to confirm any cases.
“I humbly request your prayers for the North Korean people—my people,” this former prisoner shares. “Pray for the vision to open the hearts to care for the people they lead, particularly the children and the elderly.”
Here you can watch Open Doors’ video, as this man cries out for his people, reading Psalm 130:1-2.
