Sorry Nonny, but there never was any mention, at least publicly, about the amount of maoney colllected, and what happened to it once it was collected. I know that myself and all the oter shepards gave but I couldn't give you any hard numbers. As far as missionary Sam Zun saying that the money couldn't be delivered, at the time I wasn't happy with that answer, but what could I do? In all fairness Sam Zun didn't sound too happy with the answer either, but I don't if its because he was lying, told that answer himself or what. As far as Christian agencies delivering the money to N. Korea I guess that's possible, but this is UBF, which does not like to co-work with other ministries to get things done. So from UBf's perspective even if outside help was available, it still would have been a no go.

Thanks for your qusstion.

In Christ,
Robert
