David Kim
Rev. David H. Kim is on staff at Redeemer’s Presbyterian Church in New York. Redeemer is led by the internationally respected pastor, writer and leader Dr Timothy Keller. David leads "The Gotham Fellowship" an intensive education program for young professionals which seeks to provide the theological, spiritual, and relational foundations required for meaningful and sustainable integration of faith, life and work. Accompanying David and investing into the conference will be a small team of "Gotham Fellowship" graduates
"I don't think it is possible to make Christian disciples of young professionals without helping them think out the difference Christ makes for their public lives, not just their private lives. David Kim is a pioneer in this area. I don't think anyone is better at this right now than he is." - Dr Timothy Keller
