The Heart of the Matter
In one message, our We Are Known Vision Dinner on Friday, April 5, 2024, became more than just a fundraising dinner; it became an experience. Seeing a Bible placed in a child’s hand and watching their expression change to joy is a feeling everyone needs to experience. Because of one message, our focus changed from raising support to giving those in attendance a chance to see the expressions of joy from children as they received new Bibles.
Our friends from His Heart Ministries in Jackson, MS, joined us for a special moment on stage in front of table hosts and their guests. We planned to have a time dedicated to His Heart sharing their story of partnering with us. We also planned for children to share what it meant for them to receive Bibles in the past. Due to schedule changes, children who received Bibles from us in the past could not come. What seemed to be a disappointment turned into something people would never forget.
“We have a family who has never received Bibles from Know Ministries and needs Bibles.”
That one message changed everything about our dinner. Usually, our dinners are meant to raise support for a new project or vision. However, learning that six children from His Heart Ministries in Jackson, MS, did not have their own personal Bibles, our focus changed to giving those in attendance a moment they will never forget. It meant more for people to see what we do instead of just talking about it.
Two of our board members presented new Bibles and discipleship resources to these children. Not only that, but their dad was on stage to witness it all. It made for a special moment and one that glorified God. These children went home with new Bibles, and those in attendance at our We Are Known Vision Night left, never forgetting the joy on these children’s faces because God knows them.
