Thank you FEBC for being streams in the desert for the precious North Korean people. May the Lord greatly reward your secret, sacrificial work.
Father Bless, empower and protect FEBC as they become even more involved in connecting NK to You!
Thank you God for Mighty Breakthroughs… like a dam bursting in impenetrable North Korea.
I sense the Word of God spreading and people experiencing His healing presence even in government hallways and the chambers of NK leaders. Wall of lies fall from border to border as people are set free and walk in the love of Christ! May Laborers who walk in love and great wisdom be sent to nurture these babes in Christ. Amen.

Thank you for those kind words, Lee. We are blessed to be a part of the Lord’s ministry and to be used in any way He sees fit.
I was born again at age 49, am now 75. Every day that passes, I am more and more thankful for God’s mercy in saving me. I count it a privilege and joy to be a supporter of FEBC, in prayer and finances. My heart was greatly touched in hearing the podcast about North Korea, and the other testimonies received in this email. I praise God for all He is doing through FEBC.
