The following, another letter carried over by our contact in China, serves as a fitting conclusion to the messages I was able to carry back from my summer mission trip. Here you see a summation of the life of the believer who is in or out of North Korea. Strong in faith in the midst of seriously difficult situation. Uncertain about the future yet rejoicing in it somehow. These men and women not only deserve our prayer, but serve as a beacon to those whose life is less committed. May God help us to see...
I thank God Who died on the cross in order to give us grace, a grace that caused us to repent of our sins. This is a God Who treats us as a precious soul, though we are so sinful.
I thank God that Jesus came into this earth to save earth's people, and I am grateful too for His servants and teachers trying to save more souls, as God's will demands.
I am thankful to know God, and to come to this different country, even though we have a difficult life.
In North Korea we still serve Kim Jong Il and the people are crazy about the Juche ideology. We work every day so hard but eat only two meals. And the meals are worse than pig's food. No clothing. And even if we are sick and dying there is no medicine, no treatment.
This kind of life is hellish. I have so many things to say but my tears are in front of me, and I can only sigh. Still, I am really thanking God and God's servants and teachers, because my family met the Lord and we are living in His grace and we have His love.
My heart is torn because I met my Heavenly Father so late.
Oh these precious servants of God. They provide the money and materials we need with God's love. I am very thankful.
My husband and I promise to God that we will work for Him until the end of our lives, with strong faith, ever learning His Word.
We are praying that God's grace will be on all the people of North Korea. We are asking that all of you pray that way too. Yes, we want reunification of the two Koreas, but we want it to be under the Gospel, not just a political unity. We want the praises of God and true prayer to spread all over the land.
Until that day, which we truly expect to come, I will learn His ways and stand strong in the faith.
