I traveled with a team of 7 YWAM friends and a couple guides into the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (North Korea). The ten of us met up with three wonderful guides in the DPRK.
Heading into this nation I was unsure what to expect while half believing I would find all the stories to be exaggerated or embellished. The opposite was true. What I experienced was shocking. Honor for the leader, Juche Idea, which is self reliance ideology, fear of Government and US, and hatred towards America and Japan unite the people of the DPRK to some degree. I suspect these four factors are what enables keeping an entire nation under such oppression.
Individuals grow up with sirens blowing as all power to the city is shut off and air raid warnings instill fear that the US will drop bombs at any moment. Our 4th day in the nation one of our guides told me that we were Christians and we were different. We no longer fit the mold for what she knew about us.
I am believing and hoping for this generation of North Korean's to grow hungry for truth, and dig deeper for answers. What seemed impossible happened without even trying as hunger for the powerful truth of an intimate relationship with our creator is greatly desired even by those we least suspect.
The Kingdom is advancing in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, and God is looking for those who will partner with Him to see that Kingdom come!
Consider how God may have you partner with Him for this nation!
