Good News!!! Some readers have donated to help orphans and families escape North Korea. Some have dedicated themselves to pray. Here's an excerpt from my book!


Young Soon has one desire—she wants to hear her children laugh. A widow, pregnant with her third child, Young Soon cooks grass soup just to survive.

The town loud speaker, her only news source, brags daily that her beloved North Korea is prospering while the rest of the world is starving. She believes the loud speakers and is shocked when her brother, a military soldier, informs her that millions in North Korea are starving. A smuggled newspaper reveals there is food just over the border in China. Will Young Soon be forced to abandon her communist beliefs? Must she risk her life and the lives of her children to cross the guarded Tumen River?

Inside China, 21-year-old Mei Lin launches her first missionary tour. While on a journey of miracles, Mei Lin has a heart-pounding dream of a baby crying out to her from murky waters. Who is this baby? How will she find him?

You may wonder why I care about people halfway around the world, a country I've never seen before?

I sat beside North Korean defectors at congressional hearings in Washington, DC, as they wept while telling a panel of our government officials the awful horrors of starvation, deception, and brainwashing inside North Korea.
I participated in prayer meetings where American and Korean Christians gathered around these same defectors to pray over them the night before they were scheduled to testify in the congressional hearings.


While writing news stories, I interviewed Christians who currently shelter orphans fortunate enough to make it across the North Korean border into China. I talked to Korean Christians who tell the stories of children whose shiny black hair is brittle and reddish now from malnutrition, children who eat rats to survive. I wrote stories for Focus on the Family publications and Charisma and Christian Life Magazine about children who escape into China.

Many children beg for money in China only to risk their lives by returning to North Korea where, if the Chinese or Korean police do not catch them, they give the money to their mothers-- mothers who were too weak from malnutrition to cross the border themselves.

While China hosted the prestigious 2008 Olympics, the Chinese police intensely searched for and arrested starving North Koreans who crossed onto Chinese land.

The Chinese government demands that defectors are sent back into North Korea where they are interrogated, beaten, imprisoned, and sometimes executed.

Our human family is suffering. This story is burning in my heart. I’m honored to tell it. I’m compelled to share it, and the time is now.

It's my great passion to see these people freed that has inspired me to write the book, to post this website, and to give each of us a chance to contribute. Click around to find the stories of men and women who've escaped from the starvation and brain washing of the communist dictatorship of Kim Jong-il, president of North Korea. Tell us what you think or what you'd like to see on this site.

Help us bring the information, prayers, stories, and discernment that we need on this issue. We're beginning as an English speaking website but I hope to see us connect with Korean Americans, South Koreans, and even North Koreans who now live in another country after leaving the horrors of North Korea.

I hope you'll join us!
