Yes this man John Short certainly needs our prayers. He would have known what a risk he was taking entering North Korea, with the intend of making our Saviour Jesus Christ known to as many people as possible. What a terrible thing for the Nth Korean people – not being free to hear about Jesus Christ, let alone to worship Him. This reminds of what you said in a previous blog. We must be willing to give up everything for the Lord – He has certainly done that for us.
John Short has a Crown of Glory awaiting him – let’s pray that he feels the Saviour’s presence with him all the time.
