On the Eve of the Historic Singapore Summit: What the Media Won't Tell You about North Korea

Josh Shepherd : Jun 11, 2018  The Stream

"The greatest thing we can do, especially in light of what may take place on Tuesday, is Christians across America should pray. Pray for peace. Pray for the negotiations, that human rights would be discussed. Pray for the people in these forced labor camps, that God would keep them safe. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ." -Vernon Brewer of World Help

[Stream.org] Following a months-long process of advance work, on Tuesday President Donald Trump and North Korea supreme leader Kim Jong Un are expected to meet face-to-face in Singapore.

Vernon Brewer: World Help has been serving in North Korea for about a decade. I made my first trip there ten years ago, with several trips since then. I just returned from the DMZ on the Korean border a few months ago. Mainly, our work has involved Bible distribution which has been their number one request.

The greatest thing we can do, especially in light of what may take place on Tuesday, is Christians across America should pray.

We've also helped train leaders, church planters and disciple-makers. That training has taken place outside of North Korea, when pastors and Believers get permission to go into the economic free zone of China. In a clandestine way, we've spent a week with them in intensive discipleship training. The last year or so, it's been increasingly difficult for them to get out...
