"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart." - Nelson MandelaFrank Kim, an former international Missionary now serves as an Elder in the Denver Church of Christ. He's a bit of a legend amongst many AAPI Christians in our community.

Frank is a man who not only had to learn to speak multiple languages (Japanese being one of them; the language often coined as "the devil's language" because of how difficult it is to learn) but is a man who speaks languages of the heart.

What I hope you hear in our conversation is not, Frank Kim the Asian-American, per se, but Frank Kim the disciple of Jesus who so happens to be Asian-American, and so happens to have wrestled with holy assimilation in countries like France, Japan, and Cambodia.

And even though his experience may not be identical to yours or to mine...it is experience that we not only can learn from but quite frankly...should.
