Kirk Cameron speaks at the Feed Your Faith Marriage Conference
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Feed Your Faith announced today that it is donating $14,277 to the new Family Promise of Blount County. The money was generated at the Feed Your Faith Marriage Conference featuring Kirk Cameron and Warren Barfield at Sevier Heights Baptist Church on July 18, 2009.
“Feed Your Faith was started to bring thought-provoking Christian speakers, authors and musicians to East Tennessee so we could raise money for those in need,” said Feed Your Faith founder Mike Williams. “Family Promise embodies everything we wanted to support with our ministry, and we’re pleased to know this event will continue to touch people’s lives through the marriage conference and the great things Family Promise of Blount County does right here in our community.”
Family Promise is a national organization that helps homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence. Family Promise of Blount County, led by Mandy Stinnett Adkins, unites the faith community, volunteers, and community resources to provide meals, temporary shelter, and social services to families without homes, enabling them to get back on their feet.
“We at Family Promise of Blount County are so grateful to Feed Your Faith and the ministry they are providing in East Tennessee,” said Adkins. “The generous donation will serve families in need in Blount County.”
Feed Your Faith is currently finalizing plans for a number of upcoming events including a major men’s conference and another concert event. All proceeds from Feed Your Faith events go to local charities. Over the past three and a half years, Feed Your Faith has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local charities including Compassion Coalition, Family Promise, School of Hope and Knox Area Rescue Ministries.
