Have you noticed that FREEDOM is now thought of as old-fashioned and unessential by many Americans in a place known as the “Land of the FREE”? It’s almost as if one would easily trade it in for a bowl of soup, like Esau of the Bible. Join us as we interview Kim Parker, an American of Chinese-Vietnamese descent and a former refugee whose family experienced the difficulties and oppression of living under communist rule firsthand. Fleeing to America (a risky journey) through a sponsorship by a Christian church in a small Texas town not only provided Kim and her family with the freedom and opportunity to thrive, but it also brought them to Christ and gave them a profound appreciation for America. Kim graciously shares her knowledge of history and helps us gain a bird’s eye view of our present situation here in the States. Kim Parker is now a clinical social worker with a doctorate in education and is the author of a self-help memoir-- East Meets West: Parenting from the Best of Both Worlds. She is also the co-founder of the Association of Christians in Health and Human Services (ACHHS).
