"Arise warriors of God! Open Doors invites you to take up your position and pray and fast for North Korea."

Open Doors is calling on all Believers to come together in prayer and fasting for North Korea on April 15th.

The late Kim Jong-Il had passed the baton of leadership to his son, Kim Jong-Un before he died, and many see this year as an opportunity to penetrate the darkness there, with the light of the Gospel of Jesus.

Although it's not yet clear what kind of leader the still fairly young Jong-Un will be, it's possible he may be more accessible than his father.

Below is a message regarding the day of prayer from Open Doors, for more information follow the source link.

The 'Dear Leader' Kim Jong-Il promised his citizens that North Korea will be a strong and prosperous nation in 2012, right on time for the 100th anniversary of the 'Eternal President' Kim Il-Sung. Kim Jong-Il passed away before he could live up to his promises. His son, Kim Jong-Un, inherited a country where between two and three million people have died of hunger and that still holds hundreds of thousands prisoner in infamous labour camps, including scores of discovered Christians.

Because of this, Open Doors calls on Christians worldwide to participate in a global day of prayer and fasting on Kim Il-Sung's birthday, April 15th 2012.

According to the US department of State, North Korea has one of the largest armies in the world. Its active duty military force is estimated to number 1.2 million. [1]

As God's children we are part of His army and His army far outnumbers any force on earth. The Lord has given us a most effective weapon in the fight against the forces of spiritual darkness—prayer. So on April 15th we would like to fight on behalf of our brothers and sisters in North Korea by fasting and lifting them up in prayer and asking the Lord to intervene in this nation.

Watch with us. Pray with us. -North Korea 2012
