Kim's work includes overseeing five Christ-like ministries for tribal people who are coping with the problems caused by AIDS, disabilities, and migration from their traditional villages to urban slums. Lack of land and employment has forced people from rural areas to cities to find work. They are often exploited on the job, and are at risk for being infected with the AIDS virus.

The Thailand Karen Baptist Convention sponsors these ministries. The Health Project for Tribal People, an AIDS education and home care program, provides AIDS and health education in five tribal languages. Teams travel to villages, supporting families and churches as they minister to those living with AIDS.

The House of Love is a home for women and children affected by AIDS. This includes women who had been sold into prostitution, AIDS orphans, and children taken out of their homes by the Social Welfare Department because of abuse. Many of the residents do not have Thai citizenship and have few rights in Thailand.

The Community-Based Rehabilitation Project reaches out to families who are caring for disabled in tribal villages. The disabled are often hidden away. This project is designed to help the disabled reach their full potential and be accepted within their families and communities.

The House of Blessing Day Care Center provides a safe place for slum children to come during the day. It prepares children to enter Thai schools, and also works to strengthen their families. The Chiang Mai Tribal Youth Center works with youth as they migrate to the city and with churches ministering to tribal people living in urban areas.
