Chang, Esther: - ESTHER CHANG (a pseudonym) grew up in a small town in northern China, caught between two cultures; she was rejected by the Chinese for being an ethnic minority and rejected by fellow Chinese-Koreans for having a grandfather who was a staunch Christian. After her conversion, Esther tirelessly spread the gospel to North Koreans. Because of concerns for their safety, Esther and her family have recently fled China and now live outside the country.
