She graduated from Seoul High School of Arts, (majoring in piano) and Yonsei University (majoring in church music, particularly pipe organ). During her college years, she was involved in the “Contemporary Christian Music” movement and was instrumental in production of 5 recordings with various CCM groups. She was also involved in a widespread “Praise and Worship” movement in the late 1980’s among the younger generation of Koreans, while serving as a pianist/organist at Choongshin Presbyterian Church (pastored by her father). After her marriage to Daniel Kim, Esther emigrated to the U.S., finishing the “Encore Program” (majoring in keyboard) at Musicians Institute in California. She also served as an accompanist with Fuller Seminary Vocal Ensemble, and was instrumental in production of “Jubilate! An Ancient Future Concert Mass.” Besides her extensive training and experience in music and worship, Esther has cultivated a vision for empowering women, developing training curricula, such as “Women in the Bible,” “Inner Healing for Women,” and “Identity Development for Women.” With her musical gifting, she plans to produce a number of therapeutic music CD’s for healing and meditation, particularly for the benefits of women and those in suffering. Presently, while serving as an administrator with North Korea mission organization called Reah International, Esther considers it a high calling to be a mother of three daughters, Sarah, Michelle, and Anna.
