A lifelong student of literature, philosophy, and languages, Rhode Island native Matthew J. Baker dropped out of high school and got a job working nights at a gas station so he would have more time to read. This he did for seven years, going on to become a distinguished Orthodox Christian theologian with degrees from St. Tikhon’s Seminary, Holy Cross School of Theology, and Fordham University. Married and the father of six children, Baker was ordained to the priest- hood of the Greek Orthodox Church in 2014. Only six weeks after being installed in his first parish, Holy Trinity Church of Norwich, Con- necticut, he died in a snowstorm car accident on March 1, 2015. He was thirty-seven.

Dr. Yoon is a member of Ignis Community, one of the few openly Christian ministries operat- ing in North Korea. An eight-member team in Pyongyang shares one vehicle and lives together in one house. Working with other Ignis members, Dr. Yoon has spearheaded a program in Pyong- yang to help children with cerebral palsy learn to walk. One of his wheelchair-bound patients dreamed of being able to walk to school with her friends. Dr. Yoon’s treatment enabled her to do so and attracted government support for his work. The subsequent Pyongyang Spine Rehabilitation Center (PYSRC) is currently cre- ating programs to train doctors who can then take what they have learned to other regions of North Korea. According to Dr. Yoon, prior to PYSRC there was virtually no treatment for cerebral palsy in the country. In addition to caring for children with disabilities, Ignis Community also distributes food, medicine, and essentials such as footwear to rural areas of North Korea. “Despite the restrictions, we have been amazed by what we have been given freedom to do.
