Life verse: Psalm 1 – “1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night. 3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”
Testimony:
Pastor Joe Kim grew up in a Christian home and his father was an ordained Pastor. Growing up, his dream was to be a Pastor, and it was a dream that never faded. He pursued ministry immediately following high school, and as a college student he served as a Bible Study leader and church lay staff member. Pastor Joe met his wife in 1990 and they were wed by 1995.
After finishing college, he continued to pursue ministry – his experiences included Worship Director (1993), Children’s Ministry Director (1994), Seniors Ministry Director (1995), and the Administrative Director (1996). During these years, he attended seminary to complete his M.Div, and in 1997 he was ordained as a Pastor by Eung-Am Presbyterian Church in Seoul.
The Lord directed him to Vancouver B.C. to minister to Korean international students in that vicinity, so he moved with his family to Canada in 1998. After 10 years of serving in Canada, God started a new chapter in Pastor Joe’s life and his ministry at Village began.
