Joanne Kim (née Park), upon graduating from Pacific Union College in 1992, headed straight into the mission field and served as one of the three pioneer missionaries to Mongolia, helping to plant the first Seventh-day Adventist Church there. Her initial 2-year term turned into almost 5 years and the small group that met in her living room grew into the now fully organized Mongolia Mission—from zero Seventh-day Adventists in 1992 to over 3,500 baptized members today. Joanne was called back to Mongolia in 2017 and she served as the education and development director until April 2026. When she and her family accepted the call to return to Mongolia, they knew that they would need a lot of financial resources, so in order to help fund the projects, Jon and Joanne opened a private dental clinic in Guam, which God blessed tremendously, enabling them to make significant financial contributions in support of God’s ministry in Mongolia and around the world. Joanne has nearly 40 years of experience as a preacher, teacher, principal, manager, and administrator. Joanne has done numerous about-faces in her work career, but is always willing and ready to accept a new challenge. When God calls, she is ready to go.
