Is God at work in the darkest places?
In a nation known for oppression and isolation, Joy and Stephen Yoon discovered the answer is a resounding yes. For over 17 years, this ordinary couple witnessed God's extraordinary love piercing through the shadows, transforming their own hearts and the lives of those they encountered.
In Crossing the Divide, the Yoons offer an eyewitness perspective on North Korean life and share powerful lessons like:
- What it looks like to boldly follow God's call on your lifeGod's heart for the forsaken and how he is at work in unexpected ways and placesLoving your neighbor, even when it's costlyHope for reconciliation and healing, both personally and globally
More than a memoir, Crossing the Divide, challenges you to see others through Heaven's eyes. By the final page, you'll view the estranged, the opposing, and the seemingly hopeless in a new light.
For 17 years, Stephen and Joy have served as Christian humanitarian workers in North Korea, raising their family inside there for 11 years. They are the founders of IGNIS Community, focusing on humanitarian outreach, social entrepreneurship, and medical treatment and education.
