5.5: Intercede - The Korean of North Korea
This lesson has a video. It is being moved to our own hosting and will appear here shortly; the reading below stands on its own.
In North Korea, the government controls all aspects of Korean life. Most forms of entertainment are supported and controlled by the government. Even the work of artists is restricted. Anything that conflicts with Communist principles is forbidden. It is one of the most highly controlled societies in the world. The government has officially decided against Christianity and the gospel for the entire nation. The North Koreans are in need of political and spiritual freedom.
