North Korea

Reunification of North and South is a wish and a prayer for most Koreans on both sides of the demilitarized zone, but on very different terms.

Kazakhstan

The Christian population in Kazakhstan is slowly shifting from an ethnic European majority toward an Asian one. Korean churches have grown, as have most charismatic, Pentecostal and some Baptist groups among Central Asian ethnicities. The challenges are manifold: Training is vital.

Pray for leaders for the churches. Many fled the country and […]
