Barnabas Aid works to provide hope and aid for suffering Christians.

North Korea’s communist regime categorises citizens according to their perceived loyalty to the state. All followers of religion, especially Christians, are automatically classified as “hostile” and worthy of punishment, even execution. Believers must keep their faith secret to avoid arrest, imprisonment, and torture and death in labour camps. Pray that the Church will still serve as a light in the darkness, even without any public demonstration of faith, in what is routinely identified as the most dangerous place to be a Christian. Pray for those experiencing the harsh conditions of labour camps that God will grant them strength, comfort and enduring communion with Him.
