Established in 1997 by 72 leaders of Dallas's Korean community, the Korean American Sharing Movement Dallas Chapter represents a unique partnership rooted in faith, compassion, and a commitment to serving the most vulnerable. This Dallas, TX-based nonprofit emerged from a vision to address the humanitarian crisis facing North Korea during severe famine conditions, and has since evolved into a sustained relief ministry focused on orphan schools, hospitals, and farming communities in Kangwon Province. KASM's approach to service is deeply rooted in Gospel principles and the belief that national evangelism and unification grow from hearts filled with compassion and sacrifice. The organization concentrates its efforts on five orphan schools and two hospitals in Wonsan and Moonchon, providing not only food and medical supplies but also fertilizer and agricultural support to help communities become more self-sufficient. What distinguishes KASM is its emphasis on personal relationships and long-term partnerships rather than transactional relief. The organization works through established counterparts and maintains ongoing connections with the communities it serves, viewing this work as a spiritual calling centered on feeding, healing, and encouraging both orphans and patients. Since its founding, KASM has cultivated cooperative relationships with Texas Baptist organizations, faith-based institutions, and Korean churches throughout the Dallas area, creating a network of support that reflects the community's collective compassion for those experiencing desperate circumstances.
