Pastor Victor Kim
In 1982, Pastor Victor Kim visited New York for the first time. "I was told that this was the greatest city in the world and when I saw Manhattan, I wanted to believe it.... I prayed to God that New York City would be where I would ultimately end up doing my ministry..." Two decades later, his vision for the city continues today at the Remnant Church. Pastor Victor's vision for the church and city has remained steady. He sees many people, "busily going about their work, making money, spending money and totally neglecting God." He wants to understand the "spiritual temperature" of the city, and appropriately offer God's alternative to the temporal and material of the city. Striving to know His will, Pastor Victor's vision is to make people aware of God. He's hopeful that within the contexts of worship and praise, God will manifest among His people to encourage a radical transformation that goes beyond the doors of the Remnant and into the city.
