Many young Christians are ready for a challenge. Knowing God's Heart is a book about destiny, purpose, and calling. It directs readers to a life of fulfilling the plans of God and the purposes for which He created them. Studying missions is a dangerous thing. It leaves you with more responsibility to take action. Sometimes it's easier not to know . . . but would you prefer ignorance? Millions die each year without knowing the love of Jesus Christ. Millions are impoverished, homeless, abused, unloved, and lonely. This book will show you God's compassion for a broken world and give you the tools you need to follow Him into places where the light of Christ is yet to shine. Vinnie Carafano lives in El Paso, Texas. He and his wife, Jodie, have four children. Vinnie was the youth pastor of Jesus Chapel East for fourteen years until God called his family into King's Kids in December of 1993. His lifetime commitment is to see young people come into a living relationship with Jesus Christ and affect the world around them. The Carafano family's missionary travels have taken them to India, the Philippines, Korea, Paraguay, Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico, Canada, Haiti, St. Croix, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, Russia, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Taiwan, Thailand, China, and throughout the United States. By the grace of God, Vinnie's books, devotionals and other materials for youth have gone to about 80 nations and have been translated into 12 languages.
