PASADENA, Calif., May 31 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christians all around the world are gathering to pray and fast from June 1 to July 10, for 40 days, in response to the great spiritual attack on the youth of North Korea as well as their own nations. This second annual 40 day fast, hosted by NK Missions is beginning Friday, June 1 and ending on July 10. Signups for the fasting chain are online at www.nkprayer.com. Resources include daily prayer updates, fasting guides, emailed reminders of the day of your fast, and a community blog where fasters will post their prayers.

The 40 Days is in response to the great spiritual attack on the youth of North Korea and our own nations. North Korean children are being attacked through malnutrition, systematic brainwashings with atheistic ideologies, and forced idolatrous worship. The youth in the US are being attacked through tragedies like Virginia Tech and are being tempted into greater drug use, gangs, physical impurities, and depressions. And the youth of Africa are being left orphaned through the AIDS crisis, while the children of South Korea, Japan, and beyond are being more and more neglected with the degeneration of the family unit.

During the 40 Days, Christians from the US, China, the Ukraine, South Korea, Russia, Japan, Kenya, Liberia, North Korea, and more are saying as they pray, that God will deliver their children from this attack and set them free, and they are waiting in anticipation for God to move.
