North Korea: going back as a Christian

The story of a Christian who risked her life to visit her family after escaping North Korea was highlighted in April.

It was a shock to Myoung-Hee (name changed for security reasons) when she discovered that most of her family were Christians. Although it was four decades ago, she remembers it well.

One night her father stumbled into the house, pale and weak. Myoung-Hee’s mother sent her into another room. Her father then cried so loudly that Myoung-Hee thought the neighbours would hear, and might report them to the police.
