Pastor “T” (name withheld for security reasons) conducted a wedding at his church yesterday. Pastor T’s church is currently located in one of the hottest war zones on earth.

Pastor T said, “Many elderly people and children are hungry and dying. In my church one child died. Because of the war, young women are being raped by the troops. Many buildings are destroyed. Still the war continues around us, now 10 km from my city.”

Warmly in Christ,
Pastor Foley and Dr. Foley

Imagine being kicked out of your home with only two days notice . . . simply for following Jesus!

This happened to one Chinese Pastor named Li Jie.

To get Pastor Li Jie to leave, the landlord gave him a two-day eviction notice and then shut off the water, heat and power to the apartment.

Pastor Li was one of the 439 Chinese pastors who signed the Declaration of the Christian Faith which was originally written by imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi.



The answer should be a "no brainer"! Of course we need more faith . . . right?

Pastor and Dr. Foley look at the story of Jesus calming the storm in Matthew 8:23-26 and answer the question, "Is faith a substance that we need more of?"

The answer is important for Christians in difficult places like North Korea, China, Iran and Eritrea, but it is equally important for those of us who live in places like the USA and South Korea.

Keep praying for believers in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries with predominantly Muslim populations. Christians in those countries face persecution from the government but also from their Muslim family members or communities. Those who live in Korea still have to be careful as they are watched by their own governments. Please pray that those in Korea would share the gospel with their family members online or through phone calls.  
 
Pray for the children of North Korean defectors in China– Because they live in constant fear of being imprisoned and repatriated, it is often the case that North Korean women who have been trafficked to China will seize an opportunity to escape to South Korea, leaving their children vulnerable. VOMK and our partners stay connected with the family members that are in China as well as those who come to South Korea. Please pray that God will continue to work through ministers like us to continue to disciple and care for these split families.
