Last year, God worked powerfully through SuelKon. Despite immense risk, three new churches were quietly established in two regions of NK. At the same time, she continued to encourage five underground churches in other areas, offering both spiritual upliftment and practical help. Much of that support depended on donated supplies that were smuggled across the border or discreetly delivered to the small room she rented.
But toward the end of the year, the situation grew even more difficult. North Korea tightened its borders once again, cutting off nearly every pathway for goods to enter. Supplies sent by SuelKon’s organization can no longer get through. With smuggling routes shut down and customs inspections intensified, many already struggling families now go cold and hungry. Surveillance has also increased across the country. Borders are heavily guarded, roads are closely monitored, and anyone traveling or carrying goods without official documentation risks immediate arrest.
These restrictions have made it far harder for SuelKon to move about and visit the underground churches she supports. Yet one thing has not been restricted—her prayers to the God of heaven’s armies.
Even under constant watch, God continues to open small windows of opportunity. In crowded marketplaces and other everyday places, SuelKon occasionally meets fellow believers for brief moments. Though their conversations must be quick and careful, she faithfully encourages them day by day, sharing words of hope from Scripture and reminding them that God has not forgotten them.
