In this bonus episode, Daniel Yang shares his family’s refugee journey from Laos to Thailand and finally to East Moline, Illinois, where a church welcomed and helped them navigate life in the United States. Daniel’s father soon became a Christian, and in just seven years, the family was an integral part of a Hmong church plant.

Daniel is now the national director of Churches of Welcome at World Relief, and previously served as the director of the Church Multiplication Institute at the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center. His story demonstrates how crossing boundaries in Jesus’ name can transform lives and bear fruit for generations to come.

Along with Host Walter Kim, Daniel explores our responsibility to welcome the most vulnerable, the role of immigrant and multiethnic churches in American Christianity, and how we should always keep our focus on the vision of the greater Church that is to come.
