Rob’s Story
“It is amazing how one person’s story can affect someone else in a positive way,” says Rob Chung.
Rob Chung, a well-respected professional in our community, has a remarkable ability to inspire others through his story. His encouragement to share our personal narratives stems from his belief that by doing so, we can help others realize their potential. Rob’s genuine and approachable nature invites us all on a journey of leadership and unity, transforming the mundane into something extraordinary.
Rob’s journey began under the guidance of his youth pastors, who instilled in him the power of self-belief. Over time, he emerged as a leader, driven by a passion for serving others. For Rob, the church has always been his second home, a place of refuge and knowledge that shaped his character. It was here, back in 1982, that he felt a strong sense of belonging and an instinctive call to serve.
His passion for helping others ignited a spark within him, fostering a deep sense of solidarity and care for people who started as strangers but became family. Rob’s professional background in the sports industry, working with organizations like the NHL, MLB, NFL, and the Olympics, taught him the importance of branding and messaging. He realized that, much like in marketing, when we follow Christ we should represent Christ well by walking in love.
Rob has been involved in numerous ministries, including music, choir, drama, Alpha, discipleship, global work, and mentoring. Each environment equipped him with skills that contributed to his growth. He advises knowing one’s limits and focusing on the essentials of the journey, trusting that you’re not walking this journey alone.
Rob attributes his success to putting God as his priority. He emphasizes the importance of walking alongside others, sharing stories, and listening to their journeys. By attending programs like Alpha and mentoring, he’s learned that true leadership involves empowering others to lead.
Rob is passionate about helping people balance their lives and find their spiritual path. He believes in the transformative power of sharing personal stories, as they can fill the void many feel. Through initiatives like Leader Impact alongside his friend Angel, he guides people in discovering and sharing their stories effectively.
“We all have a story to share. As Christians, we represent God, and our stories are relevant and impactful,” says Rob. He encourages us to recognize that our experiences, no matter how insignificant they may seem, can teach and inspire others.
Philippians 4:13 resonates deeply with Rob: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” This verse has guided him through various challenges, reminding him that his achievements are not his own but the result of God working through him. His simple prayer, “Lord, use me, speak through me, and walk before me,” encapsulates his approach to life and leadership, demonstrating the profound impact of faith and shared stories on our collective journey.
