A family in our church was moving. The husband traveld a lot for business. His wife put his travel time to use by being a tirelss volunteer in our church. Before their departure to his new job assignment, the husband told me he was only known in the church as "Kim's husband" because she was so involved and he was gone so much.

He told me his wife, Kim, would be greatly missed, but expressed doubt anyone in the church would know he was gone. With his permission, I told his story during a sermon about significance a few weeks before their move. I repeated our conversation and began to emphasize his great worth to his family and our church. It started to get emotional. Suddenly a thought hit me and I said, "Now if somebody could point this guy out to me." The congregation went nuts.
