THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS A CARING PERSON CAN DO FOR NORTH KOREA. As you begin working on this list, I believe God will show you even more! Please let me know what other things I ought to add...

First and foremost, let's obey the command of God in Hebrews 13:3, "Remember the prisoners as though bound with them." Then...

1. PRAY

• Get up earlier and pray.
• Encourage others to pray.
• Go to meetings in your area to pray.
• Start a prayer meeting of your own.
• Create a special place in your house to lock yourself in, prison-like, and pray.
• Create a prayer map that includes the concentration camps of North Korea, and known ministries. Go to jail in the Spirit with them every day.

What to pray?

• Pray for all believers to remain faithful unto death even when being tortured or starved.
• Pray that aid will get to the hungry and not just to the government and the military.
• Pray for the spread of the Gospel from within and for saints to get in from the outside.
• Pray that tracts and Bibles and workers will flood the nation.
• Pray for the salvation of many and the opportunity for salvation for all.
• Pray for ministries worldwide that support and bless North Koreans.
• Pray for refugees in China and elsewhere, that their lives will be changed forever by the truth and a loving reception.
• Include Kim Jong Il in your prayers.
• Pray for Kim Yong Nam, leader of NK's legislature.
• Pray for Kim Yong-il , premier.
• Pray for Kim's family: Kim Jong-nam is the oldest son, but out of favor at present? Kim Jong-chul is another son. There's rumors that youngest son Kim Jong-woon is next in line...

2. GATHER INFORMATION

• Find Scriptures that relate to your brothers' and sisters' suffering.
• Read current books, magazines on North Korea.
• Subscribe to newsletters.
• Watch videos.

3. SHARE

• Give donations to groups that specialize in North Korea. Check them out carefully: there are frauds in this business, as in every endeavor.
• Get the word out. Put a bumper sticker on your car. I have created one specifically for the purpose. Contact me and I'll send you one free.
• Visit http://biblesunbound.com/ and find how you can send New Testaments into North Korea!
• Talk up North Korea at your church. I'd be glad to assist you by a personal visit. Just email me.

4. WRITE

• Write letters to the North via e-mail. Search the net for such addresses.
• Write a "letter to the editor" of your local newspaper, regarding the treatment of North Korean refugees by China. Or other topics. Here's an example of such a letter.

5. RELATE TO NORTH KOREANS

• To relate to famine-stricken Koreans, ask God about starting to eat less meals in a week's time. 21 meals-per-week at present? Try for 20. Or cut meals' size in half. See how far the Lord will give you grace to go.
• Exercise more.
• Stop complaining about anything in this bountiful land.
• Cut back on foolishness, such as over-doing secular TV/movies.

6. VISIT/MOVE

• Once you're in touch with these people in the Spirit, and in your lifestyle, you'll want to start looking around for a way to get physically closer to the people, if God allows. Yes, there are doors open into North Korea and surrounding areas...
• Consider being an English teacher in Northeast China. Meet a refugee. Your life will never be the same.
