Undercover Grandmother
She doesn't look like someone who would fearlessly take on one of the most hostile regimes on the planet. She's a grandmother who loves Jesus...and who frequently crosses China's border into North Korea. Each time, she clandestinely smuggles in enough food to feed large numbers of Christian families.
