Born and raised in South Korea, for Jung being a Christian was a cultural and family thing. It wasn’t until his family moved to America that in a High School church group, Jung found his hunger and thirst for God. Then he spent a year in the wilderness, as a freshman in college as the only Korean at USD in Vermillion South Dakota. He was a long way from home and without friends or even others that spoke his language. He had to struggle with loneliness as he had to learn to speak English in order to be a successful college student.

The summer after his freshman year Jung realized that he had lost his hunger and thirst for God. He decided to take a chance and go to a college student retreat and the last night he heard from God in a miraculous way. The intimate way God spoke to Jung reignited his fire and hunger for walking with God. Jung changed his mind and decided to go back to the small university in the small town in South Dakota.

What was a barren wilderness had become a land flowing with milk and honey. Over the course of the next several years Jung quickly became involved in worship ministry for several organizations. He had gone from having no friends on campus to being the guy to know if you needed someone to lead worship. Jung can look back and see how God was there even in the dark times.

You’ll want to listen for the details and the rest of the story.
