International Day of Prayer for North Korea: April 27, 2008
The International Day of Prayer for North Korea is a call to Christians worldwide to repentance and prayer for the nation of North Korea, which is regarded as the worst persecutor of Christians and one of the worst human rights violating countries in the world today. The purpose of this day of prayer is to increase Global Intercession for the healing of North Korea. We earnestly ask all ministries and individuals worldwide to pray and mobilize prayer for North Korea at this time as we look to our Lord Jesus Christ with hope.
