In North Korea, Christianity is not just discouraged—it is punished with labor camps, torture, and death.
The regime views any form of religion as treason against the state. An estimated 50,000-70,000 Christians are imprisoned in horrific conditions. Entire families are sent to labor camps simply for owning a Bible. And yet, in this spiritual desert, the gospel is still bearing fruit.
I want to share the story of a young man I met this past year who escaped North Korea. His story deeply moved me and reminds us of the incredible power of God’s presence in even the darkest places.
Today, this young man is free—and following Jesus. But thousands more like him remain trapped in silence.
We may not meet them face to face until heaven, but through your generosity, you can reach them.
Your support helps deliver God’s Word in creative and secure ways—from shortwave radio broadcasts to discreet digital tools that bring hope behind closed borders.
The underground church in North Korea is estimated at 200,000 to 400,000 secret believers. They cannot worship openly yet cry out “We are still here!” Many have never even held a Bible. But they long for the truth of Christ.
Will you stand with them?
Guidelines has been asked to create programs for broadcast into North Korea. Your gift today delivers these audio messages into North Korea and other restricted nations to share the gospel through strategic, life-giving channels. In a place where faith can cost your life, your support is a lifeline.
Let’s not turn away. Let’s meet this extraordinary courage with extraordinary compassion. We are trusting God for $100,000 for this large project that will provide Guidelines’ biblical teaching beyond closed borders.
P.S. With up to 70,000 Christian imprisoned and hundreds of thousands more worshiping in secret in North Korea, your gift delivers the gospel where it’s nearly impossible to reach.
