Unwanted children are being left to die in the streets of Korea at alarming rates. From 2012 to 2013, the amount of infants abandoned by parents rose 63%, with no signs of slowing down.
What one pastor decided to do has saved countless innocent lives, and helped put a hamper on a growing crisis.
Pastor Lee Jong-rak created a baby drop box, which opens like a mailbox on the outside of his church.
Parent’s can anonymously place their babies in the blanket and ring a bell to alert the staff of the child’s presence.
Hundreds of babies have been saved by the Pastor and his staff. They now receive 1-2 children per day.
Pastor Lee’s story has been chronicled by a documentary, appropriately titled: The Drop Box. The trailer below gives a touching look on this man’s remarkable deed which has saved countless innocent lives.
