The whole team was at the boarder of North Korea last week. We didn't get to go in but it was a great time to pray for the country and meet people involved in helping out the people.Photo's:

Twenty-Four million people live in this communist state ruled by a one-man dictatorship. The country is slowly opening up to the outside world but there remain economic pressures and widespread famine. About two-thirds of the population would profess to be non- religious (as it is law to worship KIM Jong Il the ruler)
Less than 2% are said to be Christian. Today there are 3 ‘show’ churches in the capital Pyongyang and it is estimated a number of believers worship in secret house churches.
