Chef Jim Noble


Executive Chef Jim Noble, who owned and operated furniture industry favorite restaurant J. Basul Noble in High Point through 2004 and currently owns four restaurants in North Carolina, will keynote the 19th Annual Furniture Fellowship Breakfast.

The breakfast will be held at 7 a.m. Saturday, April 20 in the International Home Furnishings Center Ballroom on the 11th floor.

“If every believer is a minister, then every business is a ministry,” said Noble. The Charlotte-based restaurateur actively practices marketplace ministry, as two of his newest restaurants, the King’s Kitchen and The King’s Bakery, donate all profits to help feed the poor in the Charlotte area. Through the non-profit outreach of Restoration Word Ministries founded in 1998 by Noble and his wife Karen, the restaurants feed nearly 100 impoverished people daily, along with leading them in Bible discipleship classes.

In addition to specializing in “new local Southern cuisine” at three Charlotte restaurants and one in Winston-Salem, the Nobles started Restoring Place Church with a goal to “transform lives and help people get off the streets to live a life of fullness and blessing,” Noble said.

Leading in music and worship at the breakfast will be the Rick Webb Family. Celebrating 30 years of gospel music ministry, The Rick Webb Family performs throughout the U.S. and internationally and has been part of the Day of Discovery TV music ministry and International Wesleyan Hour radio ministry for many years.

Industry professionals will present the opening and closing prayers and New Testament and Old Testament Scripture readings as well.

Cost of admission for the breakfast is $25.00 for an individual, which includes breakfast. You can purchase a table for 10 people for $250 and a half-table of 5 people for $125 or individual seats for $25. Participants and companies are encouraged to be General Breakfast Sponsors, making a contribution of $100, $250, $550 or more. In addition to receiving special recognition in the program, sponsorships will be used to contribute to “The Kings Kitchen” ministry of feeding the poor and also help fund a scholarship for a High Point University student.

About The Breakfast: The Furniture Fellowship prayer breakfast has been held since 1994 at the opening of the spring international High Point Market. Sponsored by the Furniture Fellowship board, the breakfast is modeled after the National Presidential Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. and is intended to provide an atmosphere for fellowship, worship and prayer and an opportunity to pause collectively as an industry at the beginning of the High Point Market to thank and honor God.
