Kim’s work includes overseeing three Christ-like ministries for tribal people who are coping with the problems caused by AIDS, disabilities, and migration from their traditional villages to urban slums through the ministry of Integrated Ministries for Ethnic Minorities Foundation (IMEMF).
The Thailand Karen Baptist Convention sponsors these ministries:
The House of Love is a home for women and children. This includes women who had been sold into prostitution, AIDS orphans, and children taken out of their homes by the Social Welfare Department because of abuse. Many of the residents do not have Thai citizenship and have few rights in Thailand.
The Christian Center for
the Development of People with Disabilities reaches out to families who are caring for disabled in tribal
villages. The disabled are often hidden away. This project is designed to help
the disabled reach their full potential and be accepted within their families
and communities.
The House of Blessing Day
Care Center provides a safe place for children who
live in the slums to come during the day. It prepares children to enter Thai
schools, and also works to strengthen their families.
