Just a quick update. We are only on day 2 of the BTJ North Korea prayer devotional here on DingDash. Our BTJ team on the ground was just contacted by the North Korean government asking for help.
Prayer works! Keep praying!

Absolutely gut wrenching! New video shows Tibetans with hands tied behind their back and being beaten with batons over and over again.
We shared about this in "Leaving Buddha" when Tenzin returned to Tibet after studying with the Dalai Lama in India.

This video about COVID-19 went viral yesterday and was the #1 video, but is now being blocked and taken down on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google. That is why we are posting it here.
Information from the medical community is good.

Hey friends, how can me and my church support our brothers and sisters in China right now?

Father, I lift up Mary M.'s daughter, who is being drawn away from Jesus, the Way, Truth, and Life. Rescue her from the lies of Satan, I pray. Show her your reality. Show her the emptiness of hinduism and buddhism. Amen.

This is what a miracle looks like. Though my son was given a not compatible with life diagnosis, God had other plans. He is just a few weeks old in this picture and next month we’ll be celebrating his 15th birthday.

Hello friends, we're looking for mission minded people to come and teach English at our business in China next year - please spread the word and let us know if you're interested! 谢谢

Here is one of my first botanical watercolours inspired by the beautiful words of Psalm 1!

“These young people in China get it. Despite persecution (real persecution, as in, some of their leaders and peers have been jailed for their Christian faith), they meet secretly in underground discipleship classes. Please pray that these young people will be used to transform society and expand the Kingdom of God in China and beyond” #WithinReachGlobal

We have been continuing our mission trips during the Pandemic! God is blessing us! But sometimes we still have minor disappointments like this.

Painted this today... "Free in Christ"
To encourage my brothers and sisters, no matter what the future holds, we will always be free in Christ Jesus, Forevermore! 💕

Have you been praying for North Korea but not finding much information from the inside?
North Korea just started a new YouTube channel that might be an answer to prayer.

Our contacts inside North Korea have reported that citizens in Pyongyang have not received their monthly food rations for THREE MONTHS. Now gov officials are buying up every dog they can find to provide meat to restaurants in the capital city.

So this just happened. A 'cease and desist' order was issued to house churches in Hebei Province in China.
Continual prayers are needed as our brothers and sisters continue to see persecution in China.
