Prayer is the constant, daily endeavor of the North Korean church, permeating Christians’ collective relationship with God in an ongoing, passionate communion. This essential spiritual discipline is refined in the crucible of suffering. The underground church prays for things Western Christians would never think to pray for, such as the strength to never deny Christ under torture or to be blessed to possess a Bible. In keeping with Jesus’ command in Matthew 5:44-45, the church prays for those who persecute. At the top of the North Korean church’s list is the salvation of Kim Jong-Il. – Dr. Carl Moeller
Stop praying for persecution in China to end, for it is through persecution that the church has grown. We, in fact, are praying that the American church might taste the same persecution, so revival would come to the American church like we have seen in China.
We can only rely on the precious blood of Jesus Christ on the cross to be saved. We are saved; not by our own power, but our salvation is the gracious gift of God to us.
– Pastor Chen

Joshua got up early in the morning. What time do we sleep until? Before Jesus comes, we should also get up early in the morning. To do what? To pray. Jesus also showed us how to pray by the way he lived. As Mark 1:35 tells us, “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” – Xiao Min
“the Lord is coming soon. The Church in the end times must receive the message – they must share the Gospel, love one another, and be as one.” – Xiao Min

“Christianity was birthed in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and will only continue as we have this empowering from above. God is always looking for the willing vessels that will trust Him afresh for the impossible.” from: Principles for the gathering of Believers under the Headship of Jesus Christ.Since 2012, a growing group of believers in North America started to warn of coming persecution to western countries. This message was shared in a variety of ways. One of the responses to this was to compile a book taking principles from underground Churches around the world of how they thrived under pressure and persecution. The volume, Principles for the Gathering of Believers, had in a short time over 50,000 downloads in ebook format and much interest was shown. Some new house churches started through this and other existing groups were encouraged.
