Stories & Testimonies

Where the greatest needs exist, so exists the greatest opportunity for the body of Christ to shine His light. You provided some of that light—and hope—when you helped us send North Korean emergency food, safe water and other supplies to flood victims last year. Many families lost everything.

For many of us, 2016 has already begun to overwhelm—it has for me! If that's you, too, join with me for a moment to take a deep breath and remember all that the Lord has done over the past year. As you're doing that, I want to help you recall that your generous partnership with the North Korean Christians Ministry has given us many reasons to celebrate!

Take a moment to read the pictograph I put together below, then celebrate with me the amazing ways the Lord invited us into His great rescue plan over the last year. It was filled with stories of light overcoming darkness, and you were a part of it!

Charity looks over her shoulder again at the cart she strapped to her bicycle. She double-checks all the connections, but each bump in the road gives her concern for her precious cargo. The small sacks of rice, oil, soap and medicine remain secure, however, so she breathes a sigh of relief. Back in her village, 30 North Korean Christian families are waiting patiently for her return—they depend on it.

It happened again. More than a hundred senselessly lost their lives and hundreds more were wounded a little over a week ago from horrific terrorist violence. Paris mourns in the aftermath of the cruelty; so many robbed of loved ones. Beirut, Lebanon was targeted just a day after the Paris attack, leaving more causalities. Then came Mali.

I wanted to make you aware of an urgent situation inside North Korea that most major news agencies are not covering. Two weeks ago a monsoon struck the Northern portion of the Korean peninsula. The storm has caused horrific damage to the small cities and farming villages in the area. Initial reports indicate that at least 40 have died and 11,000 were displaced from mudslides, building collapses, and drownings.
