The North Korea saga goes on.
Recently I wrote an report here about the point of the written word, especially the Book God gave His people. How fine that Word! How priceless its message. Eternity is bound within its covers.
News North Korea
Yes, and habitancy will still risk their lives for it to be shared with others.
Story goes that about a year ago, some employees of a North Korean company heard the message of Christ from believers in China and the inexpressive North Korean church which is alive and well. The love of God filled their hearts and they longed to share their faith with others. Straight through their Chinese connections they purchased 200 Bibles and some hundred Christian Cd's.
To get their precious cargo across the border, they placed everything in a shipment of flour bags. The mission accomplished. But not without a huge price. The leaders of this project were discovered and arrested and severely tortured. The vice-president of the company, fearing for his life, escaped to China.
But the Bibles and Cd's were circulated. How and to whom we will not know for a long time. Except for one Bible, and one Cd. Ten college students somehow got possession of these items and began to read and watch. They passed them along to friends. And were caught doing so. And also arrested.
And that's all we know. Should be adequate to keep caring Christians up praying tonight. Pray for their release, and the issue of those originally locked up. Pray for the fugitive. For those who heard the precious Word of God at their hands. For the government that makes all this secrecy and torment so prevalent. For a habitancy waiting for a break.
Oh, and pray for the West again, for your church and mine, for a fresh appreciation of the Book God gave us.
