Summary

SummaryI was born under the shadow of hunger and abuse in North Korea. My father’s blows and our empty pots drove me across the river in search of safety. In a hidden safe house, I met a field worker from Open Doors Canada and heard the gospel for the first time. As I forgave my father and felt God’s light lift my burdens, He spoke to my heart: β€˜Go back.’ With trembling courage, I decided to return into the darkness of persecution, risking prison and labor camps, so that underground believers in my homeland might know the hope I found in Jesus. πŸ™βœ¨

Joo Min was born and raised in North Korea. She crossed the border looking for food and income. There she was helped by an Open Doors field worker. He took her to a safe house, where she met other North Korean refugees and heard the gospel for the first time. After years of training and discipleship, Joo Min made the decision to cross the river again. β€œI felt a calling to share everything I’ve learned with other secret believers in North Korea, my homeland.”

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
