I just want to thank you for the amazing experience my daughter had tonight. She had a great and spiritual time like never before. God bless you and your guest Paul J Kim. Lori Altamura | Director of Youth Ministry | Redondo Beach, CA “Paul is a very humble, honest, and talented young man who has a gift of sharing the gospel message with young people. He shares this evangelizing message through his talks, stories, and his unique music! Each visit we have had very positive feedback from all the teens. The topics that he addresses are all very relevant to young people of this generation. I would feel extremely confident in recommending him for any event!” Dean Diomedes | Youth Minister | Los Angeles, CA “Paul was a big hit with our junior high students! They loved watching him beatbox (vocal drumming) and listen to him use his God-given voice to create music. It was truly amazing to see how excited they were about the workshop. They especially enjoyed the interactive aspect which included coming up to the microphone, recording their own vocal soundtrack, and writing lyrics to their own original song. They’ve asked to have him come back again! As a teacher, I particularly loved to see how engaged the students were throughout the entire workshop and how Paul was able to tie in the message of how each person has a unique gift and talent that makes their life valuable and unrepeatable.” Regina Lee | Junior High Dean of Campbell Hall | Los Angeles, CA “There are very few characters like Paul J. Kim and we are blessed to know such a person. Paul is a performer, entertainer, musician, worship leader, minister, dynamic speaker, team player and artist. He reaches out to audiences of all ages during his time on stage and they feel the sincerity of his love for them. Paul doesn’t just do what you ask of him, he goes the extra mile with a smile. During our retreat one of our speakers had gotten stuck in traffic and we had about 45 minutes till she arrived. Paul took the initiative to entertain the teens and give them a heart to heart until the speaker arrived. He allows himself to become an instrument of the Holy Spirit.” Melissa Augspurger | Youth Minister | San Gabriel, CA “You moved half of my kids in confirmation to tears! I always wanted to see you speak and finally did… It was AMAZING. Thank you for what you do and for being who you are! You’re an inspiration to hundreds of teens out there. You’ve proven to my confirmation kids that you can still have swag while praising the big man upstairs. That loving God isn’t just for hardcore “Jesus freaks”, but for everyone. St. Mary’s is definitely inviting you to speak to our parish! To KNOW God, to LOVE God, and to SERVE God. Thank you!! Franceska Rolda | Youth Minister | Los Angeles, CA I have heard many, many motivational/inspirational speakers in my life, but you are one of the best I have heard thus far. I heard you speak during Youth Day, and it was awesome. I want to thank you for giving the Confirmation students of my church the talk that they really needed to hear right. Your approach to the Catholic Church is truly inspiring, especially for those like me who want to show the youth of the Church how it really isn’t boring. Your music is phenomenal and your message is a blessing to hear. I pray that God continues to bless you!! Christine Flores | Youth Minister | Los Angeles, CA
Student Testimonials “Your whole talk really touched me. When you were giving your speech about God’s love for us and how it was never too late to make a change, my eyes started watering. And I loved it. I told my Mom about you on the way home, and I started crying. So thank you.” Helena | High School Student | Los Angeles, CA “Your music is amazing and you’re so talented I’m surprised you’re not out there like the celebrities on the radio. It’s so awesome that you’re using your gifts for God. Thank you!” Brianna | College Student | Hartford, CT “Your talk changed my life tonight. I honestly didn’t come tonight expecting anything, but now everything is different. I know that God is real and He loves me.” John | High School Student | Newbury Park, CA “Paul Kim was amazing. His keynotes always hit home for me and everyone else, but they were also funny and engaging. I felt like he knew exactly what I was feeling and questioning about my faith.“ Robert | High School Student | Lake Tahoe, CA “My name is Vincent and I was at Youth Day (LA Congress). Hearing you speak was amazing… and an eye-opener. I related to everything that you said and your whole topic helped me a lot with my faith. After the event I felt a whole lot closer to God; as if my faith was renewed. So I just thought I would share this with you and tell you Thank You. It was an honor being there and being able to hear you. Once again, thank you.” Vincent | High School Student | Los Angeles, CA “He really got his message through to me and he helped me to see that I am beautiful and am loved by God.” Michelle | High School Student | San Jose, CA “I went to L.A. Youth Day and saw his session about “Prayer is not boring. You are.” I didn’t know who he was or what he was going to be like, but when he started singing I instantly enjoyed his talk. Most of the time religious talks are stuffy and boring but I felt like he actually related to us and remembered what we go through. Loved the talk and his music is the first “religious” music on my iPod. Thanks for the new outlook on prayer and God.” Emma | High School Student | Los Angeles, CA |
