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!

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...



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

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…

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

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?
