S2E18 Missions Spotlight: NK Missions with Lou and Lisa Gallo

Missions often take shape in unexpected ways, and for Pastor Lou and Lisa Gallo, that calling has led them to South Korea, where they serve North Korean defectors—young men and women who have risked everything to escape one of the most closed-off nations in the world. In this episode, hosted by Davina, we dive into their journey into missions, their deep love for the people they minister to, and their vision for gospel transformation among North Korean defectors and the reunification of the 2 countries.

 

From students striving to build a new future to older defectors carrying the weight of past suffering, Pastor Lou and Lisa have seen the power of God’s redeeming grace at work. Through discipleship, teaching, speaking, organizing programs and the everyday ministry of walking alongside these individuals, they have witnessed the gospel heal wounds, restore dignity, and open hearts to Christ. Their passion extends beyond individual lives to a longing for the reunification of Korea—believing that true restoration can only come through the hope of the gospel.

 

This is a story of faithfulness in the midst of suffering, of God's unrelenting pursuit of His people, and of a couple living in obedience to His call. Listen in and be encouraged!
