My Father's Amazing Journey of Faith
A True Story / Journals
by Sang Sun Lee and Dr. Stephanie Chung


Sang Sun Lee was a refugee in South Korea during the Korean War. He fled North Korea, leaving behind his wife, children, and parents. During a narrow escape from death, he made a promise to God in exchange for his life. Lee was true to his promise for the rest of his life. From building churches to building a business, being a true servant of God guided all his decisions and actions. Lee eventually became a businessperson and went from poverty to wealth and back again as he gave generously, and sometimes naively, to those who asked him for help. He was instrumental in the planting of numerous churches over the years and supported pastors and missionaries unfailingly, often putting their needs ahead of those of his own family. Throughout this time, Lee’s steadfast faith in God carried him and his family through every challenge and setback. Later in life, Lee was interviewed of his experiences, and that was published in an eight-month weekly series in The Christian Times. His daughter, Dr. Stephanie Chung, gathered her father’s articles to share his story and honour his life.


In his later years, Sang Sun Lee lived in Vancouver with his wife until 2021 when he went to heaven at the age of 108. He has four sons and two daughters. Three sons are elders, and the youngest serves as a pastor in New York. The two daughters serve in their respective churches and their communities. Two sons-in-law serve as elders. The family also includes eighteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. Three grandchildren are pastors in New York, Boston, and Seattle. Family members are located in Korea, Canada, and the United States. Dr. Stephanie Chung is the daughter of Sang Sun Lee and the author of Joe’s Table, published in 2018. She received her Bachelor of Music Degree from Seoul National University, studied Music Performance at University of Southern California’s Graduate School of Music and received an honorary doctorate at Trinity Western University. Dr. Chung is a mother of five children, a founder of Joe’s Table Café and Bethesda Parents’ Society, an executive director of Coram Deo Foundation, an ambassador of a Global Aid Network, and the executive music director of Vancouver Zion Mission Choir.
