Synopsis :

For the first five decades of his life, Seung-Whan (Steven) Kim was a businessman who pursued financial prosperity, while largely ignoring both his family and his commitment to God. But after moving to China and rededicating his life to Christ, this South Korean-turned-American citizen felt called by God to help North Korean refugees escape from Chinese enslavement. In 2003 he was arrested while leading a prayer meeting of nine North Koreans in his apartment. Kim spent the next four years in a Chinese labour camp. Despite great hardship and suffering, he immersed himself in the Scriptures and led fellow inmates to Christ including both his prison guard and a hardened murderer. Since his release, Kim has been a powerful advocate for North Korean refugees in China, raising awareness about their plight and fighting for their human rights. Kim s story is thrilling, heart-breaking, and victorious. His life reminds us that God can use anyone in any circumstance to achieve great things for His kingdom!
