Title: What Does it Mean to be an American?
Topic: Where the Wind Leads
Discussed by Dr. Vinh Chung
with Author
Part 1 of 4
Vinh Chung’s parents were worth millions. They had a great life. Then it all
crumbled when the Communists took control of Vietnam. Vinh was born during this
turmoil. He was only two years old when his parents, seven siblings, and other
family members boarded a boat with nearly 300 other refugees in hopes of a new
life in Malaysia.
Things turned out very differently than they all had hoped.
Listen in as Dr. Vinh Chung describes what happened when they reached Malaysia.

Vinh Chung continues
with the story of his family’s rescue from the Malaysian soldiers. They and
other refugees had been adrift at sea for many days without food or water.
Some mothers were drowning their own children to “save” them. They had
been attacked by pirates. There was little of hope of survival.
Then God sent a miracle in the form of a huge boat called the Seasweep,
operated by World Vision.
Dr. Chung tells how the people of World Vision and
Fort Smith, Arkansas saved them all.

They were in
America! It seemed unreal, like a dream you didn’t want to wake up from.
The Chung’s had been “adopted” by a little church in Fort Smith,
Arkansas – all nine of them! They were together and they were safe.
But things were far from easy. Although they were given a home with free rent
for six months and food, they had no furniture and the food was strange to them.
Vinh Chung’s dad had once been a wealthy man and now he was working for a mere
$90 a week. They could not afford to rent the house any longer and had to move.
TThe eldest Chung told his children: “Work hard. Do well in school. Go to
college. Don’t end up like me.” And his children did what he said. All
eleven children (the parents had more!) have graduated from various Universities
and Ivy League colleges from across the country.
Listen in as Dr. Chung tells more of the story.

Vinh Chung worked
hard to achieve the American Dream. He is grateful for the
opportunities he has been given in America to succeed. He never once thought he
or his family should be given anything.
He worked cleaning toilets in college. Toilets! Can you imagine? He also
delivered newspapers. Do you know a college kid who would clean toilets and
deliver newspaper just to have some spending money? I don’t!
Dr. Vinh Chung is now a skin cancer surgeon. He is married and has four
beautiful children. He saves lives! He is also on the board at World Vision, the
very organization which rescued his family so many years ago.

Leads”, on Amazon or at Lifeway.
