This project involves various loading MP3/MP4/5 players with the Chinese dramatized New Testament. The devices are distributed mainly to the Chinese husbands of NK women to whom we are also distributing NK audio Bibles. They may also be given to their children, since many of the children prefer to speak in Chinese. In this way, the whole family will have access to the word of God, at the same time, in their native language.

When Mrs. Lee was in North Korea, she had one purpose in life: publish her father’s dissertation to the world.

Her father was a believer in an indigenous Korean religion called Chondogyo, which focuses on world peace and social change. In spite of crackdowns on religion by the North Korean government, Mrs. Lee’s father had worked secretly and tirelessly on a dissertation about achieving world peace and enlisted his daughter’s help in the project of completing the dissertation and publishing it abroad.

Mrs. Lee, who had never married and had striven to live a virtuous life, learned that it was possible to defect from North Korea by being illegally trafficked to China. She went to the marketplace to look for traffickers, and found one who would be able to help her to be married off to a Chinese man, and even to bring her father with her to China.

In China, Mrs. Lee was married off to a Chinese man who was hereditarily blind, but a kind man. They had one daughter together. All the while, Mrs. Lee continued to help her father in order to complete the dissertation on achieving world peace. Eventually, the dissertation was completed and they decided to head to South Korea in order to publish it. Mrs. Lee, having grown much attached to her husband and daughter, decided not to abandon them but to bring them to South Korea as well.

However, in South Korea, Mrs. Lee read the Bible and became convinced that God’s word is the truth. Initially, she felt disappointed that the dissertation which she and her father had spent their whole lives to write and publish was pointless. But, in coming to know the truth, she gained a new purpose in life. She evangelized her father before he passed away, and they decided together not to publish the dissertation. She also evangelized her husband.

In fact, Mrs. Lee’s husband experienced a miraculous healing of his hereditary blindness as Mrs. Lee prayed for God to heal his eyes. Even though his eyesight is healed, it still is limited, so Mrs. Lee was happy when one of our VOMK staff inquired about distributing Chinese-language MP3 players to Mrs. Lee’s husband, brother-in-law (who is also blind), and other Chinese-speaking husbands and children in Mrs. Lee’s church.

Mrs. Lee shared about how her husband uses the MP3 player:

“My husband is a sailor. He is a fisherman like Peter. He received the Chinese-language radio/MP3 and he turns it on even while at sea. He listens to it even during his breaks and likes it so much. The Chinese-language radio Bible has better sound quality than a cell phone and the battery last a long time so he is thankful that he can always listen to the word of God. You have no idea how happy and thrilled her is that, through the radio, the word of God is reverberating throughout the coastal waters of (location withheld). I pray that the grace of God would be with all who donated to and participate in this ministry!”

• Pray for Students at Alternative Schools in South Korea – Many Chinese-speaking North Korean students and their parents received Bible MP3 players. Please pray that God would touch their hearts so that their word would be as sweet as honey to their ears.
• Pray for Distribution of MP3 players to Chinese husbands of NK Defectors in China – Pray for many Chinese husbands of NK defectors in China to receive MP3 players and be discipled by the word. These days in China it is not as easy to purchase Chinese-language Christian materials as it used to be.
