“They saved telling me that I used to be mendacity. And even when it was true, many thought CFI would cease serving to after some time,” he stated.
“However it’s been occurring for a few years. By the grace of God, CFI is doing what others don’t do. CFI has helped us in our time of best hardship. I’m very grateful. We now transcend delivering North Koreans from oppression. We do the whole lot to carry North Korean defectors to Jesus Christ.”
