At the mercy of the seas & men in power: “My life right now doesn’t belong to me anymore”-Jonah, 3

We’ve been hearing from Jonah who has been sharing his incredible story of how he came to the United States, escaping the Communist takeover of South Vietnam on a small boat that he and his brother built, with 17 others on board. Jonah tells how it was for them when they spotted land after drifting in the sea for so many nights and days. Had they finally made it to a place of refuge and freedom?

Little did they know what awaited them: “We were so happy when we stepped onto land again” - Jonah, 2

We’ve been sharing the dramatic story of how 17 people, led by Jonah and his brother, escaped South Vietnam on a tiny homemade boat after the Communist takeover.

Last time, we left off with these weary escapees landing on an island, thinking they were free—only to discover they’d reached Cambodia instead of Thailand! Gunmen quickly seized them and threatened to shoot. Listen to Jonah explain what happened next…

By God's Grace: "My brother & I built a boat & tried to escape from the country.”- Jonah, Pt 1

In 1975, at the end of the Vietnam War after the fall of the then-capital, Saigon of South Vietnam, many Vietnamese people escaped their country by boat or by land. The journey was dangerous, with many people dying at sea. Our guest was one of those people, who shares about his courageous journey and how the Lord guided him and all those who traveled with him. His name is Jonah...

Taking the Lord’s help back to Cambodia: “My people need the true Gospel..." - Linda Eve, 3

"I look at Christians’ lives: they’re not pure like the disciples' in the Bible” - Linda Eve, Part 2

On our last podcast Linda Eve shared her heart-wrenching story of how she went from almost becoming a medical doctor in Cambodia to being relocated to a forced labor camp in the country by the Communists. She was there for five years before escaping. She told how she had to walk nearly 100 miles on foot through jungles, and avoiding mine fields, to Thailand before coming to America.

I lived in hell for five years. Then I tried to escape from the Killing Fields - Linda Eves, Part 1

In Cambodia, a genocide was carried out by the by the Communist Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979. During that period soldiers relocated most of the population from urban cities to forced labor camps. Malnutrition, torture, and mass executions led to the deaths of an estimated 25% of the total population - 1.5 to 3 million people. How did Linda Eves endure these hardships?!
