No School in North Korea

Over the years, our Chinese BTJ people have gained extensive experience with greenhouses, especially with aquaponics. This technique combines the raising of fish and vegetables in one greenhouse system. In many areas, it is a challenge to get a steady supply of healthy food.

If you’re willing, take a moment and think about Christmas. What does it mean to you? What does it look like in your home?
