BACKGROUND

Very simply, this "dream" was developed out of a deep desire to use the creative gifts that God has given me, both physical and spiritual, to further His kingdom. As a professional interior designer and a mother of two, God began to show me that the creative talents I have are gifts from Him, and that they can be used to change people's lives. Through extensive prayer, God has led me to turn this dream into a reality by forming a non-profit organization - Kingdom Design Ministries.
The main goal of this ministry is to uplift the name of Jesus Christ. The "room makeovers" are simply the platform that allows us to bring the spirit of God into people's homes. This opportunity offers more than just a pretty new room for the receiving family. Through this service we bring families closer together in Christ, they receive hope. We strive to help the individual child realize that they are valuable in God's eyes. To assure them that despite their circumstances, He has a purpose, a plan for their lives. They can make a difference in the world because "all things are possible to him that believes" Mark 9:23
Most of all, if anyone in the family has never accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior, we pray that this ministry will open the door to that opportunity. Our job is to be obedient to the call God has placed on our lives...then, leave the results up to Him!
In Christ,
Missy Johnson

GOD SPEAKS!

Ashley Manes
When Ashley was four years old, she was in a terrible car wreck that left her paralyzed from the neck down. Her father, Joe, painfully recalls a turning point for him.
"Ashley was in the hospital in Atlanta. We knew she was paralyzed and at this point she could not speak either. One day before I entered her hospital room, her nurse told me that Ashley had a surprise for me. When I walked into the room, I could see they had put a trach in her throat. For the first time in days, she was able to speak. She looked up at me and said "I love you Daddy". Joe said, at that moment, he knew that God was speaking to him through this child and telling him that everything was going to be O.K.. "I still have my moments but God has taken care of us".
