NORTH KOREA 

WHAT CSW IS DOING TO HELP NORTH KOREA

- CSW will continue to research and reveal claims of persecution so as to advocate on behalf of those who are suffering, in addition to networking with other organizations whose focus is on serving the Christians in this region. 

- CSW is following the cases of those who are subject to repatriation and will continue to provide opportunities for you to petition on their behalf, as information is provided to us.

- Christians in North Korea will continue to be mentioned in our prayer calendar. As we receive updates we will publish them on our website and/or in future issues of Outcry.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

You can PRAY

 - Pray that there would be urgent international press coverage of the events in North Korea, with the increased pressure leading the Chinese government to cease repatriation proceedings

 - Please pray that those who are still in transit by authorities would be safe and that their fates would be reconsidered

 - Pray for successful journeys for those Christians who have still gone unnoticed by authorities in their bid for freedom

 - Pray that leaders in North Korea would embrace religion and drastically change policy and their long history to allow freedom of worship. Pray also that the international community would continue to apply pressure to this end and hopefully upend North Korea's reputation as part of the "axis of evil"
