About the book “Bridge to North Korea”
This is the real life story of the experiences in Frontier Mission of Carol Allen-Ankins, B.A., Dip. Ed., Dip Rem. Ed.,
A high school teacher trained in teaching English as a second language.
She has a passion for North Korea born of her love of God and His call to her.
Here she tells how she is building a bridge into that country, commencing from South Korea, and stretching over to North-East China, as North Korea slowly opens to its neighbours.
Carol is an Australian pensioner and a grandmother with eight children and 13 grandchildren, who is a gifted artist, as this book clearly demonstrates.
She operates on the support of her faith and her pension.
The striking feature of her story is the reality of God's provision for her.
Her story is in two parts, which tell of her experiences in the apposing ends of her bridge to North Korea :
the first part is set in South Korea where she went to gain first hand knowledge of Korean life and language; and the second is in North-East China.
There she teaches English to Medical students drawn from among the more than one million North Koreans in that area.
For her, life begins at 60!
She challenges the capacities resident within us all at retirement!
The excellence of her sketches and her dramatic experiences in those areas are both intriguing and amazing
