Sharing the love of Christ through Heaven's Family

I have been a supporter of Heaven's Family, of which this is just one part of the work that they do, for many years now. It's an organisation which I can commend to you for your support. The following email about the continuing work in North Korea has just arrived on my PC.

A Letter from Inside North Korea Posted: 29 Aug 2011 10:29 AM PDT Dear Friends, Just this month we helped fund the smuggling of food for 45 families (about 200 people) inside North Korea. As a result, we received the following letter that was secretly carried back out of the country, written by one of those blessed by your compassion. Here is the actual letter with the translation following…. Our life on this side is like going deeper and deeper into a mountain range: we live expecting it will be better every year, but faced with ever harsher reality, it cannot be explained with anything. Such a boundless misery, the whole population is suffering from starvation. That is, there is no compensation for struggle no matter how great; there is no profit in doing business. Consequently, beggars continue to increase in number on the street. Occasionally, homes are empty overnight, and rumor goes around saying the occupants ran away somewhere. It is now common everywhere to disregard a person lying dead on the street and for no one to care. It is because such things happen too often. So, in the midst of this, it became possible not only for us to overcome this hardship, but also to share with those who are suffering around us. Indeed, if God hadn’t helped us, we’d have become beggars now. We do not know how to repay your favors. We can only tell and pray to Him. We have experienced God’s marvelous works here. Truly we thank you. Thanks for praying and giving to feed our suffering North Korean brothers and sisters in Christ through the North Korean Christians Fund. On their behalf, Elisabeth Servant Director, North Korean Christians Fund
