“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 />
