World events are creating very creative opportunities to reach the North Korean people. Wars and shifting political alliances are creating substantial opportunities for passport holders from outside the current mainstream mission force. KRIN is working fast to capitalize on those opportunities. The good news is that there are now 6 missionaries from Central and South America in the pipeline, who are going to places workers from N America and western European countries just cannot get to. There are many challenges to overcome for this to happen, but God is opening up doors and scenarios, as well as people who are passionate to go! One woman, named “A”, sensed the call to go to a NK border area several years back but didn’t know how or where. When she heard someone share about the need and opportunities at a conference focused on mission work among NK migrants, she quickly responded!
Pray for “A” as she moves early next year to a border nation to reach NK people living there! KRIN has been able to facilitate some connections there. Ask that those connections are solid and “A” is smoothly granted the visa she is applying for.
Pray for 6 other missionaries from these diverse countries who are preparing to go to work among NK migrants! Ask the Lord for provision for their needed support and training, etc. Praise God for connections we have in the region to receive them and assist them in their transitions!
Pray for the hearts of NKs in these places to be prepared to respond to these new mission workers in friendship and ensuing discipleship. Ask the Lord that the discipleship tools and processes can retain their simplicity so that they can be more easily reproduced by new disciples.
Ask the Lord of the Harvest to mobilize more prayer for NK. Join us in praying that KRIN can help to create programs to send and receive missionaries in some very sensitive areas through creative access. We continue to be amazed at the people God is raising up as we are faithful to keep moving forward!
