“Nine years ago, I started listening to the radio with<br />

my father. It opened our eyes...All varieties of getting<br />

information into North Korea are important, but radio<br />

is crucial.” —Ju<br />

“People are so thirsty for information; they are making<br />

their own radios...This is a regime built on lies, just<br />

countering with the truth, the regime will crumble...<br />

Information gives them a fresh life.” — Huh<br />

“Christianity is<br />

alive in North<br />

Korea and there is<br />

revival.”<br />

- Ju, a North Korean defector<br />

“There are many underground churches in North Korea<br />

that are striving to spread the gospel. For instance,<br />

during last year’s Christmas, some people secretly<br />

handed out Christmas gifts to others…Right now,<br />

people inside North Korea want to rise up against the<br />

regime. There is so much discontent inside and it is<br />

at every level of society...When North Koreans come<br />

to South Korea, they fully realize how really bad their<br />

situation was in North Korea. It is humiliating and they<br />

wonder how much of their life was lost because they<br />

were born in North Korea...I guarantee you we will<br />

continue to fight to end the Kim regime, so please be<br />

our friend and ally” —Jang<br />
