Trafficked woman finds new hope

Unable to cope after her husband was imprisoned in North Korea, Min-Hee escaped to China. There, abandoned, alone and frightened for her life, she fell prey to human traffickers and was forced into marriage to avoid starvation. Tragically, her story is not unusual. Many desperate, starving North Korean women are sold into marriage or prostitution. But Jesus is still able to heal and to save. Min-hee says, ‘After three years, I finally joined some other ladies at a Bible study group meeting. Previously I had a negative idea about Christianity. But the other North Korean women in my village told me their lives had changed a lot since attending those meetings. There I heard the good news of Jesus Christ for the first time, and I totally opened my mind to accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour. I regretted that I had not visited these Bible studies earlier.’ Now Min-hee is learning what it is to follow Jesus, even in her circumstances.
