“Do you believe that the black church has been able to really embrace and understand and minister to persons who have mental illness?” Conference of National Black Churches (CNBC) President Jacqui Burton asked the Rev. Kim in an episode of a new talk show on the called “Healing & Hope.”

​

“Yes and no,” replied Rev. Kim, who during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic developed an initiative at the historic Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, New York, called Grace Guidance Prayer Strength, to help support the healing of Christians through a combination of prayer and mental health support in an environment of worship."
