Open Doors International which works on behalf of persecuted Christians around the world and to help those in North Korea, the number one persecutor of believers, issued this call to prayer before the Singapore summit. These prayer concerns are still vital for us to pray for the nation after the breakthrough summit:

PRAYING AND FASTING FOR A COUNTRY RULED BY ISOLATION AND FEAR

For the last 17 consecutive years, North Korea has ranked as the #1 most dangerous country for Christians on the World Watch List. The country has become infamously known for its human rights violations of North Koreans and harsh treatment of North Korean Christians.

In the East Asian country, the Kim regime uses isolation and fear to rule the country–keeping the 25.4 million people living there uninformed and immersed in propaganda. North Koreans must worship the ruling family–nothing else–and Christianity is illegal and will be punished. The discovery of faith results in imprisonment in the country’s notorious prison camps and even death for not only the individual or family but also three generations of that family.

Below, we offer 15 powerful, informed and specific prayers of petition that we, as the Body of Christ, can bring to God—interceding for and standing with our North Korean brothers and sisters in Christ… 15 IMPORTANT, INFORMED PRAYERS…

• Pray that President Trump and Kim Jong-un’s historic meeting on June 12 will be the first in a series of actions thatsets Korea on a new course of religious freedom.
• Pray that Kim will be convinced torelease the more than 50,000-plus Christians unjustly held in detention centers and prison camps throughout the country.
