A Year of Faith in Action
As we look back on this past year at Mobilizing Knoxville, our hearts are full of gratitude for God’s provision, for faithful partners, and for volunteers who showed up again and again to love their neighbors in practical, life-changing ways. What began as a vision to restore dignity and mobility through reliable transportation has continued […]
What He’s Done
We want to take a moment to simply say thank you. Your continued support, prayers, and friendship mean more to us than words can fully express. Because of you, Operation Inasmuch continues to grow.

Is Compassion Ministry in Your Evangelism Toolbox?
A passage I go to a lot when I speak with a group or even sometimes during an Inasmuch training with a church or association of churches is Luke 4. There in verses 16 – 20, Jesus is in his hometown synagogue, stands up, and begins teaching. He was reading from the book of Isaiah, […]
