North Koreans 'overwhelmed by your amazing love' “Thank you for taking care of the North Korean believers,” says a secret believer from North Korea. “You are so concerned for us and love us so much. We are simply overwhelmed by your amazing love.” It’s one of several messages recently written to you through underground networks in China that reveal just what impact your faithful prayers and support are having on our North Korean family.  The words are a precious insight into how your support is helping believers from North Korea and other countries where believers face the most extreme persecution. Thank you, and please continue to pray for those who follow Jesus in these places.
