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…

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...

On our last few podcasts, Linda Eve has been sharing her story about her 5-year captivity in a labor camp by the Communist regime in the late 1970's, her escape; and then about coming to America and being exposed to Christianity. Now, on our concluding visit with her, Linda talks about taking God’s help back to Cambodia!

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.

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?!
