  Survivors of Brothers Home have alleged close cooperation between the camp and the Protestant Church. One former inmate reported being forced to perform in Christian plays for local and international guests and given Easter eggs as rewards. Another was sent to the camp by a Christian missionary. Another survivor described the church and the camp as a business operation run by Pastor Lim Young-soon and Director Park In-geun, with children forced to work and run an on-premises Korean adoption operation, including writing letters soliciting donations from families who have adopted children in the past. Some of the adoption partners abroad were also part of Christian organizations.
  
  According to Shin Yi-geon (신이건), a representative of The Korea Christian Newspaper, Park In-geun was a senior presbyter of a church belonging to The General Assembly of Presbyterian Church in Korea. Shin further claimed that, despite being aware of the human rights violations at Brothers, Christian organizations in Busan such as the Busan National Council of Churches and the Busan YMCA neglected to reveal them.
