North Korea: underground university trains missionaries

An American missionary group has opened an 'underground university' in South Korea to train North Korean Christians to spread the gospel among their compatriots.

The group, Seoul USA, reports that it is now offering a 12-month intensive training course in Seoul to North Koreans wanting either to return home as missionaries or to reach out to North Korean refugees in other nations.

The missionary group reports a growing trend for 'North Korean exiles who are eager to return to China and North Korea to reach their countrymen'.

Meanwhile, the already strained relationship between North and South Korea has deteriorated even further. Communist Pyongyang announced recently that it is 'scrapping all military and political agreements signed with the South', the BBC reports. Seoul is demanding an end to Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programme – while Pyongyang accuses Seoul of deliberately trying to provoke a confrontation.

Pray for all the students who will enrol in Seoul's underground university. Praise God for their courage and ask Him to fill them with His Holy Spirit.

Pray for wisdom for political leaders in both North and South Korea.
