Family Grateful for Provision of Medical Care

Details
(Reading time: 1 minute)

A North Korean woman and her family have expressed their thankfulness for the medical care they are receiving through The Voice of the Martyrs' ministry in China. "Ji Young" recently told a pastor who works closely with VOM Korea that her husband has been ill but was unable to get treatment in China. "After leaving my hometown in North Korea, I never received help from anyone in China," she states. "Nobody cared for me or my family."

However, she gratefully acknowledges the help that her family is receiving from VOM during this time of illness: "As we received support from the pastor, I realized that God never forgets nor leaves (us). He always cares and has mercy.... I do not know how I can express my heart to God, I was so touched by this experience. Thank you for your help and support. I will live as a child of God and keep my faith in Him." (For information on VOM Canada's ministry to North Koreans, click here)

Pray for North Korea

Pray for the safety of the country's refugees – including those who are hiding in various parts of China, as they are frequently being hunted by Chinese and North Korean agents. Ask the Lord to also protect and strengthen believers faithfully serving within North Korea, granting them wisdom as they seek ways to effectively communicate the hope of the Gospel so the church can continue to grow. And like the Apostle Paul, may the country's primary political leader, Kim Jong Un, experience a profound life-changing encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ who is longing to extend love, mercy and forgiveness toward him (Acts 9).
