After reading so many stories about North Koreans defecting their fatherland I got my hands on a book that turns the tables on the whole idea of defecting North Korea. This guy was a Sargent in the US army in South Korea. He was afraid he was going to get hauled off to the Vietnam war in 1965. So he went AWOL and walked across the DMZ into North Korea thinking he would eventually be let loose to the Soviets and then let go for home in the US. Instead he was captured and did not leave for 40 years. Eventually after four decades of the weirdest life you could never imagine, he managed to survive and leave North Korea of his own volition. His story is the weirdest I’ve heard of in North Korea.
This book left me thinking of more questions about North Korea and it’s system of communism. After reading Escape from Camp 14 to now reading this, I’m convinced that the North Korean regime must actually hate their own people more than they hate Americans who they preach are their arch nemesis.

@Grace365 I live in South Korea so it’s easy for me to get these kinds of books here.

Such a powerful message. No matter what you may think of Benny Hinn this message is truth and it will bless you. Only believe.

Powerful prayer and worship time.
Make the bowels of hell shake with worship and praise to King Jesus!!

I recently watched this film Silence. It just reminded me of the need for a spiritual relationship with Christ. So many put their hope in the body and their community. But if Christ is God as the Bible says, as Christ said, “ before Abraham was I AM”, then we must come to the conclusion that Christ is also spirit within us. It must be our hope in Him alone that carries us through the harshest of suffering. I am alive in His Spirit, born again not of flesh, but of the Holy Spirit. Eternal life is for those born of the Spirit with the body. Everlasting life is first spiritual and then in the twinkling of an eye we are restored.

CDC lies. Fauci lies. The world hears and follows every order. The ultimate symptom of fear is control and contradictions.

@Jorge love you and Nancy! Powerful message and very needed! Amen!!

Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self (& selfies), lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy.

@bethany it’s estimated that there could be up to fifty thousand similar experiences over the last twenty years just from North Korean women in China. Yeonmi has said also said that her own experience is not as bad as most, including her own sister and mother.

These stories are unlike other defecting type stories in that the ones that live to escape North Korea live in Christ before they leave and learn to be a blessing in an environment where there are none. I encourage you to read it and be blessed for yourself.

These two books are great to read side by side. Together they give a comprehensive understanding of the sheer demonic oppression over Pyongyang and North Korea from 1910 to today. But they also help to understand what we Christians can do and should not do to help.

These are some of the most heart wrenching stories of North Korean defectors I’ve read. I’m not convinced it’s any better now than twenty years ago. In fact I know it’s harder to cross into China than ever before and harder to send money back in to loved ones still there. God is still there though and His Spirit stills revives and gives birth to new spirits even in the harshest times.
