Summary

SummaryI’m Hea Woo, and I come from North Korea—a place where following Jesus can cost your life. In 1997, my daughter died of starvation during a brutal famine. My husband escaped to China, where he encountered God—but he was caught, imprisoned, and died in a North Korean camp. When I heard he had become a Christian, I was shocked… but deep inside, I knew he had found the truth. 🙏🏼

Later, I also escaped to China and found faith in Christ. I was caught and sent back to North Korea, imprisoned in a labor camp filled with death, suffering, and inhuman conditions. Yet even there, God moved powerfully! 💥 He gave me a heart to share Jesus with others. In secret, I started a hidden church right inside the prison. In that darkest place, His light broke through. 🌟

Despite the danger, I chose to follow Jesus—unashamed and unafraid. My story is one of sacrifice, boldness, and a God who is worth everything. Even in chains, I was free. 🔥🙌

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.
