Dr. Kim provided a detailed overview of the current political, economic, and humanitarian crisis in North Korea, urging global Christians to intercede for the country and its people. He explained that North Korea remains one of the world’s poorest nations. He also shared the impact of political oppression and ideological control, noting the harsh consequences for those who engage with South Korean culture. He highlighted the increased collaboration between North Korea and Russia, raising concerns about how this might escalate tensions in the region. Despite these hardships, many South Korean churches continue to work with North Korean defectors, praying for reunification, peace, and reconciliation. Dr. Kim called on believers to pray for an end to economic suffering, political oppression, and for a peaceful resolution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
