Headlining today’s news, Christians in South Korea are bathing next week’s summit meetings in prayer. Over the weekend, nearly 50-thousand people participated in a special joint worship service for reunification of the country. Manmin World Mission’s Johnny Kim participated in the meetings. He says the church should be involved because the problems are great in North Korea. “A lot of people starving now, especially the children have no food. So, South Korean churches should help them and show the love of Jesus Christ our Lord before (the) summit meeting for reunification.” Kim says with or without reunification evangelization will continue. “Of the pastors and Christians who have been in North Korea til now, the people of North Korea are very open minded to the Gospel. Even though there are some persecutions and a lot of limitations we think there are a lot of possibilities to preach the Gospel to the North Korean people.”
