North Korea Underground Church Leads Unprecedented Worldwide 100 Days of Prayer

Tim Dillmuth : Sep 18, 2013  seoulusa

"We are one with our suffering brothers and sisters both in North Korea and around the world... We're taking the '100 Days' to learn what they have to teach us!" -Rev. Chuck Huckaby

EDITOR'S NOTE: Years ago I went on a short mission trip to Vietnam, visiting an underground house church there. Our guides took great care in making sure we had not been followed by anyone who would blow their cover. But once we arrived, I was amazed to find that as these precious brothers and sisters-in-Christ began to worship and pray, they were anything but quiet or secretive. On the contrary, they opened their windows, grabbed their tambourines and guitars and worshiped with all their hearts. I can't tell you how moving that was to me. These Believers' love and passion for the Lord far outweighed any concern for their own safety once they were immersed in the powerful presence of God.

Our fellow Believers in North Korea are undoubtedly putting themselves in danger by worshiping Jesus in the "common places"…but their heart to see the light of the Gospel overpower the darkness there is so great; they are willing to take that risk. Here is an opportunity to join in with them in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. –Aimee Herd, BCN.

NK Christians(Colorado Springs, CO)—Starting September 23, 2013, the North Korean Underground Church will lead Christians around the world in one hundred days of worship in the common places.

Daily, through December 31, 2013, Christians are invited to follow the lead of their North Korean Christian brothers and sisters to do what led to their persecution in the first place: Gather together in small groups for daily public worship in the common places of life—their homes, schools, workplaces, parks, libraries, bus stops, and more—using the historic four pillars liturgy of the North Korean underground church.

Rev. Eric Foley, CEO of Seoul USA, says while Americans are pledging to join in the effort, their goal is not to evangelize others.

"These will be outwardly modest and unremarkable gatherings. There will be no megaphones, no shouting, no political messages, no recruitment, no voices of concern about the state of religious freedom in America. Neither will the liturgy be conducted in hushed whispers in private corners when no one else is watching."

NK ChristiansSome American participants expect like NK Christians, they may experience persecution as they publicly express their faith.

Rev. Chuck Huckaby, of First Protestant Church, New Braunfel, Texas, says his congregation will join in despite the risks.

"We are one with our suffering brothers and sisters both in North Korea and around the world... We're taking the '100 Days' to learn what they have to teach us!"

The 100 Days of Worship campaign features the four pillars of the North Korean Church:

• The Apostles Creed
• The Ten Commandments
• The Lord's Prayer
• The Lord's Supper

Those wishing to participate can visit the Seoul USA Facebook page to sign up.
