Quotation

You brought me to a church full of old cranks. -I think they prefer "senior cranks." === I'm not Korean. Karen. From Burma, next to Thailand. === We were farmers, then soldier. We fight for our land, for our people. Fight in the jungle, in the mountain. They burned our villages. Many dead, many gone. Girls crying over dead mothers, father over dead son. Many family lost or broken. They forced us into refugee camp. Thailand. We cannot leave. There is nothing for children to do, nothing for men to do. Just wait. Wait. The people fight, cry, scream in the night. Young people, they go bad, go crazy. They steal, lie. Girls get raped. Boys, too, sometime. But we have a church hut. It is for rice, really. We sit on rice bag and we sing and pray, say Bible verses and story in church hut. Yeah, many dead, many gone, many family broken. But in church hut, we are one family. Through Jesus Christ.
