2 Timothy 2:1-10
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.”
North Korea is widely considered the most difficult nation on earth for missions. Christians are executed there, and any effort to even whisper the message of Christ could mean torture and death. But the Gospel is not chained, and several missions agencies are sending the Gospel into North Korea using helium-filled balloons. This effort has been going on for many years, and everything depends on the direction of the wind. One children’s missions group has the Gospel printed on the balloons, accompanied by pictures and explanations.
Another group launches balloons with small radios attached, tuned to a Korean-language Gospel station. Another organization attaches Bible-filled flash drives to their balloons.
Recently, however, the summit meetings between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un complicated the balloon launches because the South Korean government doesn’t want anything to upset the talks. Still, the Word of God is not chained.
Who knows what God is doing inside the darkest land on earth? North Korean missiles are no match for Gospel balloons, for the Gospel is not chained. Pray for North Korea!
A point to ponder…
Just as a dandelion needs the wind to spread its seeds, we need the wind to spread the message.
