Page 245: Dan Chung: Following God Into the Unknown, Rescuing North Korean Refugees

What happens when ordinary people decide to follow God, without a roadmap or plan, into some of the most dangerous places on earth? In this episode of The Unfolding, Dan Chung shares his incredible journey from a Korean immigrant growing up in Chicago to co-founding Crossing Borders, an organization dedicated to rescuing and supporting North Korean refugees fleeing unimaginable oppression. Dan's story is a powerful example of how faith, brokenness, and a willingness to say "Send me" can change thousands of lives, even when the road ahead is unclear. You'll hear about the harsh realities North Korean refugees face: starvation, human trafficking, and brutal persecution. And you'll discover how God uses ordinary people, willing to step into the unknown, to bring hope and healing.
