Pastor Lee Jon-rak sat in the hospital waiting room weeping. The doctors told Lee that his son’s chances of survival were minimal and that if he did survive, he would be a vegetable. But he insisted that the doctors try to save him.
For the 16 years his son lived in the hospital, Lee preached in the emergency wards, soon developing a reputation as a “lover of the unlovable.” This reputation spread until one day a woman asked Lee to adopt her own disabled daughter.
Over time, he took in several other orphans from the hospital, and the word began to spread throughout his neighborhood. Then one frigid winter night, a woman abandoned her baby outside the gate of Lee’s home. In that moment, Lee knew that those children were not safe. He knew something had to be done. So he built a box.
