First Post of Summer 2010!
Hello everyone! This is Esther Suh blogging on behalf of the Northeast Nomads.
Yesterday we had our first screening at All Nations Baptist Church of Iowa City.
There was a great turnout (around 70 people) and everyone was so interested in the issue. It was really encouraging to be around people who were genuinely passionate and saw an immediate need to help the people of North Korea.
Nothing feels better than knowing the work you’re doing is making a difference. This is a world issue and it feels good knowing that there are individuals across the entire country who are eager to make a difference.
Being on the road… lets take a few minutes to talk about this.
It’s definitely a challenge. Being on the road has taught me to serve my team. That’s one thing Kira told me to do. She said to serve my team; I’m really grateful she said that because it’s important for us to look out for each other. In order for us to free and love the people of North Korea we must first love each other.
A few nights ago, we were SO CLOSE to sleeping in the van; I was a little concerned. We barely have enough room to keep everything in the van; I kid you not, it would have been a game of full-out Tetris.
Last night, our church’s pastor booked us two hotel rooms— we were blown away. We couldn’t believe how wonderful the accommodations were. I felt kind of guilty for sleeping so luxuriously doing this work.
Well… right now we’re watching Ultimate Fighting Championship with our Illinois hosts and I’m apparently missing out on a really intense game so on that note, I will talk to you guys later.
