Refugees
Thousands of N. Koreans have fled to China in search of a better life. Some try to leave permanently as they seek freedom or escape from religious persecution, and others cross the border in search of jobs or food so that they can return and support their starving families in NK. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 300,000 North Korean refugees are hiding in China. Reaching China does not mean freedom for refugees because China has an agreement with NK to forcibly send back all refugees. These refugees then face prison or death camps.
Please pray for:
■ Divine protection for refugees who are escaping NK and for those hiding in China.
■ Refugees in China, that they’ll escape the exploitive situations they they’re in. Pray specifically for the women who are being sexually exploited & for refugees who are being used for slave labor.
■ Border guards, that their seeing eyes may be blind, and many people will flee NK and will build better lives for themselves.
■ China to allow the UNHCR to have access to the N. Korean refugees and they will stop the forcible repatriation of these refugees.
