USA North Korea Summit

I vividly remember the time when there was an intense verbal war of words between the president of the USA and the chairman of North Korea. The whole world was on its toes, watching worriedly the barbs trading between these two leaders. Some fearing and wondering what the world might turned up to be, a global mushrooming nuclear blasts and total shattering of the world peace? Some even dared to declare that World War Three has begun? I was no mute spectator. Nor was I silent reader of the world news. The Lord brought me to my knees to pray for the peace between these two countries, especially to pray for North Korea, that the country would be opened up for the gospel of the kingdom of God.

Since then, I have been praying for world leaders, of the likes of Trump, Kim, Abe, Putin, Xi, Modi, Moon, May, Merkel, etc. Especially, for Trump and Kim with North Korea as my main burden. I simply prayed, not knowing what would transpire. But as I followed the world news, things sounded worse and worse until the duo declared a threat of nuclear shower. But I ceased not praying.

One day, I read a good news about the meeting between the leaders of North and South Korea. Later, the possible meeting between Trump and Kim. And suddenly the cancellation of the same, and revival of the probable, perhaps, possible meeting again. And finally the confirmation that the duo would meet up for Peace Summit in Singapore on June 12. Since that confirmation, my prayer was all for this meeting. 

Then came 12 June 2018. That day as I woke up in Taipei, and when on my knees for my morning prayer, I could pray nothing else but for the successful meeting. My prayer was very intense, and fully focused on the summit between the two verbal warring leaders. Even after the morning prayer, throughout the day, I prayed for the meeting as I knew the meeting would have been going on according to the time schedule. Later, when I saw on news that the meeting went well, the peace summit signed, with the applause from all men alike world wide, I felt a deep relieve and gratitude to the Lord for this answered prayer. I believe this is very much in the Lord's heart for His move on the earth.

Diplomatically and formally, peace summit had been signed. Now what? I still continue to pray for the Lord's hand to move to execute whatever were agreed upon. Well, politically, I am not as interested in what would eventually transpire. But my main burden is for the country of North Korea. Many of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are under persecution and threat of livelihood may now be released to enjoy their Christian life and church life. Much more, the country be gospelized, truthized, and churchized.

When a decade ago I visited South Korea, the brothers there informed a prayer burden for North Korea to be opened up; and that they had prepared 300 Gideon's army for the gospelization of their brothers in the North; and for the printing of a million Bible(RecVer) for distribution to the North, the seed of prayer burden was sown since then. Only this year, the burden blossomed into full fledge prayer burden. Now the Lord is answering the prayer of His many children for this nation. May God bless North Korea.
