This is a true story of how God can use anyone and everyone if they are willing! Chan grew up in poverty in some of the most notorious parts of town but instead of conforming to circumstances around him, he chose to excel in everything he laid hands to.

It wasn't until the pandemic hit that Dan started seeking answers again and God answered him through his wife and directly through the Holy Spirit. We delve into Dan's story and also find out why he has such a passion for sharing the gospel with everyone around him.
