Testimonials

“Jimmy was really the first person to help me articulate many of the feelings that I’d had for quite some time regarding my physical identity as a Korean American adoptee. This was incredibly liberating and empowering to a person who has spent most of his life internalizing issues of race and ethnicity…”
Stephen D Johnson, Human Development Specialist, BSW, MA
“I participated in a multicultural consultation and discussion that Jimmy led for Mission Year. Ten years later, I find myself still quoting Jimmy and referring to the definitions of culture, ethnicity and race he used during his consultation.
Jimmy is incredibly insightful and articulate especially when it comes to resolving cross-cultural conflict.”
Wendy Hu-Au, Area Director at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA
“Jimmy is a strong prophetic voice on issues of race, ethnicity and diversity who can also think strategically about helping others develop cross-cultural competency at an organizational level. Jimmy doesn’t simply inspire and guide others toward multiethnic diversity and justice; he lives it with integrity and character in every facet of his life. He has been a great colleague and friend and lifelong mentor.”
Rev.Orlando Crespo, National Director of LaFe at InterVarsity
