Yoo Yoon, CBF Korean initiative consultant and pastor of Glory Korean Baptist Church of Dallas, traveled to North Korea recently to deliver 60 tons of corn and three tons of noodles.
“I visited a corn warehouse in Dandong, China, where I purchased the corn. Corn is the main food for the people—not because they like it, but it is the most inexpensive,” Yoon reported.
After he arrived in North Korea, Yoon visited a noodle factory, where he observed a shortage of corn due to rising prices and a “scanty harvest this year.”
Yoon also visited an elementary school and several villages to observe living conditions.
“I have felt their hunger for God while they have lived in hunger” physically, he noted.
