This article from Persecution.org titled “The Unstoppable Gospel in North Korea” uplifts the brave believers in North Korea, who persist in pursuing fellowship and faith, despite the government’s efforts to extinguish Christianity. The article specially highlights the story of one believer, Illyong Ju, who experienced the power of the Gospel in the midst of severe persecution. Over time, the Bible has become known as the “book of blessings” in North Korean markets and continues to reach civilians today. To that, Illyong said, “The Gospel is unstoppable.”

This article from GodUpdates titled “‘God Did It’ Says 18-Year-Old After Waking Up From a Coma Following a Crash” shares the story of 18-year-old, Diego, who experienced a tragic motorcycle accident, leaving him with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Though the doctors warned his parents that they may have to declare him brain dead, Diego miraculously started to show responses 40 days after the accident. Every sentence he was able to speak after he woke up, he used it as an opportunity to praise God. “Every time they want me to talk, I’m always like, ‘God did it,’” Diego said.
