Year of Prayer for North Korea
Nakon šale u prošlom zapisu na račun Sjeverne Koreje, naišao sam na drugačiju vijest povezanu s istom državom i kojom vas potičem na barem jedan Očenaš na naznačenu nakanu.
2007. je godina molitve za Sjevernu Koreju, objavila je Crkva Južne Koreje još u siječnju (14. 01.) ove godine u Seulu, a takvom ju je proglasio CSW (Cristian Solidarity Worldvide). 14. siječanj je ujedno i obljetnica velikog preporoda grada P'yongyang što je sadašnji glavni grad Sjeverne Koreja u kojoj nije dozvoljena niti jedna religija, a u kojem je prije sto godina održana konferencija kršćaniskih vjernika i započelo veliko širenje kršćanstva na tom području (koliko mi je poznato). Svakako, prije nego što je postao komunistički, Pyongyang je bio zvan Jeruzalem istoka zbog velikog broja kršćana. Danas tu postoje samo oni tajni vjernici koji su zbog svoje vjere progonjeni. Molitva je Sjevernoj Koreji na poseban način potrebna, ne samo za slobodu vjere već i mir, blagostanje i dobro ljudi koji tamo žive.

Slijedi tekst objave 'godine molitve za S. Koreju' na engleskom.
We give God all the honour and praise that the Great Revival which broke out on 14th January 1907 in Pyongyang was the greatest demonstration of God's powerful plan of salvation for the Korean Peninsula.
As we mark this centenary day of the outbreak of the 1907 Pyongyang Great Revival, we desire to see love, freedom and peace restored in Korea. We thus proclaim 2007 as a Year of Prayer for North Korea and call the global Church and Christians worldwide to join the South Korean Church in actively praying for North Korea this year.
A hundred years ago God started the flames of repentance and revival in Pyongyang Jang Dae Hyun Church, but His work did not stop there. As the miracles of the revival spread from Pyongyang across the Korean Peninsula, Pyongyang became known throughout the worldwide Church as 'The Jerusalem of the East'.
We are aware, however, that in this day North Korea is in a time of deep suffering; that her people face great hardship and that many have died as a result. We mourn with those who mourn and are deeply concerned for the welfare of the North Korean people.
In light of the current situation, we call on all churches and Christians around the world to pray urgently for North Korea during 2007. We urge for fervent prayer for an end to the deprivations and sufferings, and for the day to come when the love of God and the blessing of salvation breaks out once again throughout the nation and touches the lives of the people of North Korea.
Furthermore, the South Korean Church lays before God the pain caused by the division of Korea and proclaims the week of 25th June, the anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, as the 'Global Week of Prayer for North Korea'.
We hereby call on denominations and ministries around the world to promote the '2007 Year of Prayer for North Korea'. We urge for intercession to be rallied for 2007 to be the year in which walls of darkness fall in North Korea, crosses are restored in every corner of the land and a historical tide of repentance and revival breaks out and brings peace to Korea and beyond.
