Being affiliated with Joni & Friends, J.D. Kim Ministries is a Christian, non-profit organization dedicated to share God’s sovereign love that regenerates all brokenness and to serve those who experience suffering, especially physical pain and disability, through the ministry of teaching theology of suffering and hope, ministry of encouragement, and ministry of supporting disability ministries. We do them through prayer meetings, seminars, conferences, worship services, writings, and providing resources and support.
