In today’s conversation with Spencer Dalke, co-founder Dan Chung of Crossing Borders shares the heartbreaking realities facing North Koreans who risk everything to escape one of the world’s most oppressive regimes. Drawing on more than two decades of ministry experience, Chung explores the lasting effects of human trafficking, political persecution, forced repatriation, and severe psychological trauma, while also revealing stories of resilience, faith, and transformation among North Korean refugees. From the hidden church inside North Korea to the challenges of healing after freedom, this eye-opening episode offers a rare look into the lives of defectors and the life-changing hope Christ offers through compassion, community, and the Gospel to those emerging from profound suffering.
