North Korea

North Koreans were “betrayed” by the failure of US President Donald Trump to include human rights provisions in his agreement with the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, following their historic meeting in Singapore, according to Human Rights Watch’s Asia Director, Phil Robertson.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. President.” With these words, Kim Jong Un shook hands with Donald Trump as the two made history in Singapore.

A lot has happened on the Korean peninsula in the last few weeks.

The much-anticipated summit between President Trump and Kim Jong Un is dominating global headlines this morning.

In view of the U.S.-North Korea Summit taking place on June 12th, Open Doors USA has called Christians to spend the previous 24 hours in prayer.

Born in China to Korean parents, Kim Hak Song came to the United States in the mid-1990s, got his citizenship and attended seminary. It was while studying, he said, that he had developed an interest in North Koreans’ plight.

Only four percent of North Korean defectors had seen a Bible in the country, according to a new State Department report, which also said the Communist government continues to “deal harshly with those who [engage] in almost any religious practices through executions, torture, beatings, and arrests.”

This decision followed a series of ominously worded statements from North Korea.

We should rejoice in the safe return of the three Americans while praying for the millions who are victims of this cruel regime.

“This land, this undivided land, is your inheritance,” Elizabeth Torrey tells her students during the prayer session. “And your prayers of your heart matter to see that happen.”
