The right thing: A deal with God

This BBC World Service documentary, "The Right Thing," shares the extraordinary story of Timothy Cho, a North Korean defector. Abandoned by his parents, Timothy faced severe hardship and political persecution. After a failed escape attempt, he was imprisoned and, influenced by a fellow inmate, made a deal with God: freedom in exchange for dedicating his life to Him. Miraculously, Timothy was deported to the Philippines and eventually found refuge in Britain. There, he overcame trauma, learned English, earned two degrees, and now works in the UK Parliament as a human rights advocate. The podcast explores his journey, his reconciliation with his parents, and his unwavering belief that making a deal with God was the right thing, leading him to a life of purpose and advocacy.
