North Korea (MNN) -- North Korea appears to be opening doors to the outside world as they struggle to cope with the effects of poverty. International Aid's Mark Heydenburg says they're partnering with a group who has been granted access because of their medical work. On this trip, the team focused on improving the inadequacy at some of the hospitals. "Not one of the hospitals out of the four I visited had running water. Can you imagine not having restroom facilities in a hospital? Not one of these hospitals had running water, and most of them only had sporadic power of about three hours a day." Heydenburg says this is one area that opens to an avenue of ministry. "We ran electrical lines, put in generators, put new panels in, surgery lights and medical devices. I was also able to spend quite a bit of time with the physicians and nurses and share how to operate these machines, and in many ways, indirectly witness for Christ."
