WHAT WE DO
Help provide food to the most needy. To help inside North Korea with acute medical needs. To participate in a network of prayer for the country and to share the Good News among those who have never heard. AsiaLink partners are working among in a variety of ministries and areas to help North Koreans.
Newsweek magazine described North Korea as “the worst of the worst”. The few aid workers who remain tell of orphanages crowded with shrivelled babies. The Church has been decimated and persecuted. No one knows how many believers remain. Confidentiality is a must for any Christian ministry in this land. Any North Korean Christian who is known to the authorities will be imprisoned in terrible conditions and many do not survive. Many have already died.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Cost: Various ministries are taking place where reporting and news will be necessarily limited. Suggested amount £25 per month. Medical work is ongoing and needs change. Sometimes hospital beds are required, other times, flatpack greenhouses or medical equipment. Suggested amount £30. Give to N.Korea ministries here. Sign up for regular news here.
PRAY FOR
Ministry among North Koreans is highly risky. Pray God's protection on mission activities every day. Many believers have been imprisoned or executed. Ask God to sustain the North Korean Church and bring grace and growth during this most intense of persecution.

... Every day, you and I are reminded of how tough life can be. It's true that life can be really hard but don't ever give up on our tomorrows! I believe our best days are ahead. The power of God's increase is so great that there are no challenge too big and no circumstances too difficult to be radically transformed. WHAT WE SEE AS A MAJOR SETBACK IS REALLY A DIVINE SETUP! |

... My heart has recently been set on fire for the unreached around the world, for the persecuted brothes and sisters in countries like N. Korea. I want so badly to do something but at the moment my prayers are all I have to give.  |

... I am hoping to have an open discussion with both the North Korean and Mongolian Ambassadors on'Knowledge Sharing' Economic Development on all issues concerning North Korea. I am at the moment, looking into sending Food Necessities as Emergency Aid to North Korea, as 40 North Korean Embassies around the world have been asked to ask their Governments for a quotq of "Rice". "Rice" in North Korea is underfunded by 80% and they have a deficit of a million tonnes, but I believe the quota is to pay for 305,000 tonnes to feed 5 million people. I am trying to put an appeal mostly on 'Knowledge Sharing' ideas for the Ambassadors, then I will try and assist with the rice. I am still waiting to hear what type of Hybrid Rice is eaten in North Korea, as one cannot just send anything. I have been in contact with an organisation that works underground in North Korea called Alpha Relief, as well as North Korean Borders and Beyond. They are both Christian Organisations working in North Korea, but information is difficult to get out of the country, as since the death of Kim Jong-Il no one is allowed to use their mobile phones for 100 days, if they disobey they will be executed or treated as war criminals. So, I do like everyone else, just wait in the hope that one day they will have justice and freedom. Thanking you for your prayers and patience. |
