The Drop Box – Marvelous documentary about the work of Pastor Lee Jong-rak

James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Last night we got to see a wonderful documentary – The Drop Box.  Below is from the website with the link.  Please see if it is still available in your area.  If not, pursue the links and read about this amazing story.

Every human life is sacred and worthy of love

Hundreds of unwanted babies are abandoned on the streets of Seoul, South Korea, every year, forgotten by the surrounding culture.

The Drop Box is a documentary about the work of Pastor Lee Jong-rak and his heroic efforts to embrace and protect his community’s most vulnerable children. By installing a drop box outside his home, Pastor Lee provides a safe haven to babies who would otherwise be abandoned on the streets to die.

It’s a heart-wrenching exploration of the physical and emotional toll associated with providing refuge to save those deemed unwanted by society.  But it’s also a story of hope. And a celebration of the reality that every human life is sacred, has a purpose and is worthy of love.

“Not many movies can lay claim to having caused their maker to convert to Christianity, but that’s just what happened with The Drop Box the new documentary from filmmaker Brian Ivie.”
