Dear Friends,
I would like to invite you to join us this summer in a very special experience, a time to come together with other brothers and sisters who have a heart for North Korea to work hard and to study at Jesus Abbey?s Three Seas Ranch.
The Fourth River Project is putting on a series of five-day North Korea work schools in July and August. If you come you will learn about North Korea and the challenges that face us there but, more importantly, you will gain valuable experience in manual labor that will enable you to speak to the laborers of North Korea as a fellow. You will live in tents, work hard on the ranch in the mornings and attend lectures afternoon and evening. I hope you feel up to it. We would be delighted for you to come.
Ben Torrey
Director
The Fourth River Project
Running from July 10 through August 18, we have six five-day sessions of good, honest physical labor on the Three Seas Ranch and learning about North Korea. This is not for the timid!
