North Korea: Underground University
North Korea: Underground University
They are not your typical Bible school students. Not only are they from one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a Christian -- North Korea -- most of them are older women who have come to attend the multi-year leadership training school for North Korean defectors at the Underground University in Seoul. In this report by VOM Canada's Greg Musselman -- shot on location in Seoul, South Korea -- you'll meet two amazing women who are passionate about getting the Gospel to North Koreans.

- 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).
