Bart Shoaf - Continuous Improvement Manager
“I believe in what Needle’s Eye is doing to help us all understand our role in taking Christ to the front lines of where we live and work. We are all out here working with real people, with real emotions and real struggles. We have to trust the Lord as individuals to show us how to stay connected and let Him influence us with the person in the office next door. We need the Lord to help us see that the field is ripe for harvest, because my coworkers need Jesus. They need what He has.”

Rita Taylor Stewart - Legacy Financial Wellness Consultant
“My ministry now is my work in financial consulting. One of the things I struggled with was embracing the transition from traditional ministry to now being an independent consultant. I understood my identity as a Christian in my role in the church, but not as clearly in my work in the marketplace. Coming to Needle’s Eye and seeing and hearing from people like me was impactful and encouraging.”

Trey Brown - Corporate Sales Professional
“Where do you go to talk about a work issue so that you can have a Christ response to a situation at work instead of a corporate response? I see people at Needle’s Eye events & they are energized by this kind of conversation, where you can be very vulnerable & someone can receive and reciprocate or just be a good listener. I feel like I can have a deeper conversation with someone at work that is curious versus clock out & disconnect from the job–I never clock out as a believer.”

Margaret Ann Hazelton - English Teacher
“It is encouraging to meet people at Needle’s Eye events who are in other industries. It helps me reframe what I do on a day-to-day basis & align that with God’s vision for His Kingdom. A lot of my students--a lot of this generation--is very ‘me’ focused. There is so much conversation around identity with kids and teens now, which is not always bad, but there is so much space for me to help reorient their brains to be more ‘others’ focused, which is very central to the Gospel.”

For our “senior citizens “ who must take their required minimum distributions (RMD) from their IRA: You may instruct your IRA custodian to send some or all of your distributions to Needle’s Eye Ministries. The distribution would lower your adjusted gross income and would consequently lower your income taxes. In addition, for some tax payers, it could reduce the amount of your Medicare Part B insurance premiums for both you and your spouse. You can change the amount of your distribution annually.
