| Summary: | The story of Young Sawa Kim is one of a courageous pastor who has overcome strong sex and cultural barriers to engage in the ministry to which God has called her. She grew up in Korea in a very anti-Japanese environment, but her family had strong Christian roots. Her great-grandmother was an early leader of the Korean church, and her grandmother was a Bible woman. It was through her mother's influence that she was immersed in the Christian faith, and after a life-changing experience at the age of 14, she decided to become a pastor. After studying at Yonsei University and marrying a fellow student, she moved with him to his homeland of Japan. They have since served for a time in Korea, taken graduate studies in the United States, and settled in Japan, where Sawa and her husband serve in separate pastoral ministries. |
