Great note from recently released John Short, writing from his home in Hong Kong,: P.O. Box 162, Tsuen Wan, N.T., Hong Kong, S.A.R. of CHINA. Beloved Prayer-Partner, 13th March, 2014. Christ the Lord our Righteousness! Please accept our from-the-heart “THANK YOU” for your recent care and prayer. The miracle of answered prayer literally astounds us and produces in us further reason to believe that very soon, in answer to prayer, the curtain will open for our beloved, suffering brothers and sisters in North Korea. News from believers in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, the D.P.R.K. was immediate, and swift as they managed to get in touch with me in Beijing as Karen joined me upon my release from North Korea. That millions worldwide of Bible-believing-Christians whom I represent, do care and do pray unceasingly for them as members of the body of Christ, has provided the “hidden church” in North Korea with much real comfort and joy. Let us not give up our confident hope in the Lord through prayer, nor let them down in this their hour of need. The world we inhabit, fellow intercessor, does not allow us to stand by marginalized by an out-of-touch media and a Laodicean Church, that would trivialize the plight of the millions who daily tread a path of compounded brutal misery. The appointed-by-GOD path for all Bible-believing-Christians such as you and I, is to accept the misunderstanding, strong dislike, even hatred and persecution in this day of Christ’s rejection, because we give pre-eminence to Jesus Christ. Those who inhabit the world of unbelief, rejection and scorn for GOD’s grace and love in Christ, can never comprehend why we would seek to encourage our suffering but much-loved fellow pilgrim believers in North Korea. GOD knows all about this and thus by GOD’s grace we will continue to do so. Thank you for your true boldness to continue at the throne of grace for all things. In the eternal bonds, John & Karen Short
