North Korea is one of the darkest countries in the world – in more ways than one. When the sun sets over the tiny Stalinist regime, most of the population is plunged into a night of pitch black darkness as a result of persistent fuel shortages in the country.

A 2006 satellite image from the Department of Defense contrasts North Korea and South Korea at night.

This eerie image from a viewer (June, 2009) shows a bridge that spans the Yalu River between China and North Korea. Can you guess which side belongs to North Korea?
Prayer Request: Please pray that the light of Jesus will pierce through the night and comfort our brothers and sisters who are suffering in this darkness.
