    My grandparents were children in South Korea shortly after the war. They grew up in poverty and near-famine conditions. My grandfather found a church as a child and led his (still remaining) family to it. My grandmother was a pastor's daughter. Not only have they set an example for me on what Christians can and should look like, but also how a husband and a wife shoule love each other. My grandfather is now ill and nearing the end of his days, but I have faith that God will receive his spirit. Pray for us if you would, that God's will would be done in our lives and that he would use us for his purposes even til the end of our lives.
    Edit: Thank you everyone. Hope to see you all in heaven!

      It should not be that way, but you are right. It is true. Our intellect and ability to grow as humans come from God. Ironically, we ignore him and think “secular humanism” gave us this whereas true humanism historically was rooted in Christian thinking. It is no coincidence that modern science grew up in the West. Not that Europeans are special, but an affinity to Christ naturally allows development.

      @@BabyBugBug yes the West especially influenced by the liberal philosophers became arrogant and think that they know everything and don’t need God and when things go bad, they blame God, it’s never their own fault, other people’s fault or the devil’s. They dare to judge the holy God because things went wrong in their lives or in the world when they themselves are filthy sinners and committed a lot of sins and mistakes deliberately or not.

    I am from the Navajo Nation in the U.S. and there were Korean missionaries who would host vacation bible school. They cooked Korean barbecue with rice and kimchi, and their absolute love for the Lord Jesus and the unsaved was immeasurable. I grew up not having any friends and it was hard for me to socialize, but whenever I was with them it felt like I was always a part of their family, despite our differences culturally or geographically. Praying for the fellow believers in North Korea, it is amazing that God is working, even in the most seemingly dark and oppressive places.

      Thanks for your story, my brother. I believe the ancestors of the Navajo are mentioned in the Bible as those descended from Ishmail's firstborn son Nebaioth (in Hebrew, the "b" softens to a "v" sound when occurring in the middle of a word). According to the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, "the name occurs frequently in Assyrian inscriptions. The tribe must have had a conspicuous place among the northern Arabs. Josephus, followed by Jerome, regarded Nebaioth as identical with the Nabateans, the great trading community and ally of Rome, whose capital and stronghold was Petra." The Nabateans were known for their pottery, livestock herding, smoke signals, and ambush tactics. Eventually, they disappeared from the Arabian peninsula when the world learned of tsunamis in the Red Sea region. I believe some then sailed to the New World, while others went eastward into places such as China and Russia. The Bible has an important prophecy about the Nebaioth in Isaiah 60. I believe that Adonai preserved the Navajo until these last days in order to present sacred offerings to the Messiah when he returns.

    I was a missionary in Korea in the 70's. My favorite church was in a village in a hut on a dirt floor. The people asked me about America. They said they would pray that God would send missionaries to America. Their simplicity touched me deeply. I found the Koreans to be in love with Christ. Many were persecuted for various reasons. Once I spoke in a youth rally for Campus crusade for Christ. There were over 3,000 young adults enthused for Jesus. I will never for get their vibrant singing. Their faces aglow. Their politeness warmed my heart. One of my most impressive memories was a time I sat by a lake at a Christian college watching students stand on a raft holding candles in the evening glow. They sang from their heart, "I'd rather have Jesus than anything?" That after glow remained with me! From the orphans singing gustily, "With Jesus in the family-happy home and Yes Jesus loves me.' To a Bible study with 20 adult singing acapella- "Jesus is all the world to me." I learned that music was their way of expressing their deep faith in Christ! They converted me.

    I lost my nephew in January of this year. Three days after the accident, after not eating for 72 hours, and feeling she might die from a broken heart, my sister got down on her hands and knees and prayed to God. First, she spent about 10 minutes thanking him for everything she has in this life. Finally, after listing everything she could think of, she began to ask God for help.
    Before she even finished asking, God spoke to her in a clear, booming voice, and said “I have him, be joyful, he is with me!”
    She stood up, sat on her couch, stunned, then felt a presence in the room room which terrified her. She closed her eyes and felt the air moving as though someone was in the room, yet no one was there. Then, while paralyzed with fear, thinking she was being demonically attacked, a warm sensation began to pour from the top of her head, and then the same voice said, “This is me. I am blanketing you with the Holy Spirit for your comfort.” She didn’t know at the time that Jesus also referred to the Holy Spirit as the comforter.
    In that moment, God took away the worst of my sister’s pain and feelings of loss. It’s something you have to see to believe.
    The point is, believe God fully. And talk about the work he does in your life. The Bible is 100% true - even the first book of Genesis. This means we live under a firmament, not on a planet. This is by far the biggest lie that keeps people from believing.

It has changed my life and restored my faith and I’m so thankful. I never imagined this is what my life would look like after moving here tbh. The ppl here are very passionate and its so interesting how many different services and outreach works there are. I am saddened that Korea unfortunately also has a lot of false teachers (사이비/cults) but there are many biblically based churches here working to help those in these cults.

    I cried because I realised how I struggle to put Jesus in the center of my life with all the comfort I have. I cried because I've realised how in my country in the center of Europe, we struggle to proclaim His Kingdom and we may need to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit because we may be spiritually poor.

    Years ago, when news of humongous revivals and church attendance in S. Korea was going around, I heard someone once joke, to the effect of, "If the numbers are to be believed, the entire population of S. Korea has been saved three times."
    On a serious note, I also read the following about house churches in communist China, "In China, a small group of believers gathered weekly in the back room of a small store to worship together. Since they could easily be overheard by anyone who entered the store, they engaged in what they called, 'silent singing.' Someone would whisper the name of the song they would like to sing, and they would silently move their lips as they simply thought of the words and music." Such powerful beauty, even in silence.

    He prepared a 2 hr sermon and had to preach for hours because they just wanted more. The bible was not complete but in peaces of papers and every word was soo valuable to them. And because of that they have alot of biblical miracles still taking place their unlike here which is mostly history .
    In the end the preacher just told us not to take advantage of the grace we have here (Tanzania) and be lazy in faith. That was in 2013 hope currently/future the pentecostal churches have more freedom and get more recognition in persecuted countries.

    Yeah, prayer has been the hallmark of the Korean church...
    We've studied Korea in our Asian history in high school... And I've heard how poor South Korea was after the Korean War...
    Like dead poor kind of poor...
    But man...
    Hearing of the zeal of the Korean church in praying... That's awesome!
    There are no such thing as "super Christians" but... Prayer do change the praying person...
    If you want to change as a Christian... Wow... Pray...

    "And so that's how Christians become Christian in North Korea, through hearing the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit grants them the faith to be weak towards the Lord."
    That is the only way to become a true Christian anywhere else in this world (Rom 10:17). So many in the free countries of the world have taken up the name 'Christian' but do not know or rely on Christ at all. Dear Lord, have mercy upon your people and upon your persecuted church!

      In the free world today, many have much to lose in their minds if they publicly identify as a Christian and hold firm to the Christian doctrine. In North Korea they already see life as not worth living and in persecution and starvation, so they seek Jesus because they're is already nothing else for them to lose. They seek the one that said if you lose your life for Him you will gain it.

    Notice how the people who God blessed with freedom of choice, chose and choose to ignore him. But those who have no religious freedom and or freedom at all, choose to acknowledge him. This is clear statistics as to why God allows bad things to happen, people would see no need for God and lose their way. It’s in our most vulnerable moments can we see the truth, that we are nothing without him. God have mercy for our brothers and sisters who face persecution for His name sake, may they inherit the kingdom of God !

      Because our King Jesus was also persecuted, and after His resurrection He went to a great persecutor of Christians named Saul, and healed His sight and made him the greatest evangelist in history. From that moment he became known as Paul and wrote most of the New Testament in the Bible while being persecuted himself in a prison cell for his faith in Jesus.

      @jesusislord4610. I am not an expert, but I know that Islam is growing rapidly in the UK. Mostly through immigration, but also through conversion of indigenous British people. Muslims also tend to have lots of children, unlike secular or Christian Britons.
      For decades, Muslim leaders like Anjem Choudary have stated that their goal is to make the UK a Muslim country. They are making tremendous political progress. The mayor of London, Sadik Khan, is a Bangladeshi Muslim. The former first Minister of Scotland was a Pakistani Muslim, Hamza Yousaf. Recent elections in Yorkshire brought a number of Muslims into parliament.
      The reason, I think, is that the traditional churches, the indigenous churches, like the Church of England, the Church of Scotland, the Methodist and Baptist churches, and the Roman Catholic Churches are in decline. Most indigenous British people seem to have turned away from God, very few believe in the Bible or Jesus. Most white British churches have shrinking attendance, low rates of Baptism and marriages in the church, and elderly members. Many churches are being closed. I think Islam has entered the void that a declining church has left.
      However immigrant churches are growing, often Pentecostal churches, sometimes evangelical. Some of these churches are attracting indigenous British people, as well.
