North Korea's growing gulags where 200,000 are imprisoned and many don't even know what they're accused of-
In North Korea, religious and political freedom are foreign concepts. Citizens of this communist nation are not allowed to pray to God, instead they are forced to worship their "great leader," Kim Jong-il. Voicing discontent with the "great leader" or refusing to bow down to his picture can result in imprisonment, torture, or death. Yet, for some North Korean citizens, death would be better than imprisonment in this country's growing gulags. According to sources, prisoners are forced to work in inhumane conditions and are frequently subjected to horrendous torture. Food is so scarce in the gulags that many inmates must eat rats or undigested food found in animal waste.

Pray that Kim Jong-il's successor, his son, will strip North Korea of its communist ideology.
Pray that the Holy Spirit will blanket this spiritually-deprived country.
Pray that, somehow, Bibles will make their way into the hands of many North Korean citizens.
Pray that North Korean inmates will stop being tortured and starved. Pray that these inmates will be exonerated of their crimes and immediately released.
