Kim Gardner was raised in a devout Christian family and thought he was fulfilling his destiny when he trained for and entered the ministry with the Seventh-day Adventist Church . While serving in Richmond , BC he encountered an unforgetable rabbi. As he attended Rav Avram Feigelstock's weekly classes on the sly, he came to treasure the truth of Torah and knew his days as a Christian minister were numbered. Kim and his wife Trudy have converted to Orthodox Judaism and are vital members of the Adas Israel Congregation in Hamilton , Ontario where he runs his own consulting business in the film and modeling industry.
