The Voice of the Martyrs - She knew she could be killed if the Bibles were discovered.

Arrested, but Not Stopped

During the dark years of famine in the mid-1990s, many North Koreans did whatever they could to survive. For Eun-Ji and countless others, this meant entering the shadowy world of smuggling. Through contacts in China, she acquired goods that she could sell to feed her family. When one customer disappeared without paying, Eun-Ji hunted the woman down at a church she attended in China. What Eun-Ji learned about Christ at that church changed her life. Eventually, Eun-Ji began using her knowledge of smuggling to carry the ultimate contraband — Bibles — into North Korea, where any action or message that didn’t align with the Kim family ideology would result in imprisonment or death. Eun-Ji accepted the risk, bringing the Word of God to her family and secretly teaching them about Jesus Christ. “If [North Koreans] want to believe in God, it has to be secret,” Eun-Ji said. “They cannot reveal anything about their faith. It is a real challenge to live in faith in North Korea.” Despite her precautions, Eun-Ji was identified as a smuggler and arrested. She knew it was only a matter of time before her faith in Christ and the contraband Bibles were discovered. Still, Eun-Ji was sure that her story was not finished, and she prayed for freedom to continue her work. READ ABOUT EUN-JI’S ESCAPE
