I have been a human rights activist for NK refugees and defectors since 2008. My journey began after I had become a Voice of the Martyrs area representative. One of the monthly issues that came to me highlighted the atrocities in North Korea. I was immediately drawn to the subject and as I delved further into it, I was continuously surprised.
At that time North Korea had been voted as the #1 persecutor of Christians in the world for the 8th year in a row. I read testimonies of how people had lived in concentration camps (which I thought were obsolete in this day and age) and stories of their harrowing escapes. The ultimate turning point came when I watched this video: Shin Dong Hyuk Born and Raised in a Concentration Camp. With tears rolling down my cheeks I watched the video three times over a three day period. After that, I pleaded that God would give me a mission for this cause.
Since then, God has opened up door after door, allowing me to meet the most amazing people and experience things I would have never dreamed.
COMING SOON: How you can help!
Yay!
