The Miracle That Saved Dawson Knives
John Roy shares an incredible testimony from one of the hardest seasons in his business. During COVID, Dawson Knives faced a crisis: their blade-cutting supplier shut down, leaving the entire company on the brink. With bills piling up, employees depending on him, and a used water-jet machine that refused to work, John reached the end of his own strength.
In desperation, he turned to Scripture—Matthew 18—and was reminded to come to God with childlike faith. Feeling led, he prayed over the machine despite raised eyebrows… and what happened next shocked everyone. The machine ran perfectly, the blades were cut, and their business was saved.
John reflects on God’s patience, His love even when we doubt, and the way He shows up in impossible moments. This is a story of faith under fire, learning to trust like a child, and witnessing a miracle that no engineering logic can explain.
Stay encouraged: God sees you. He is able. Invite Him in.
