other passion , one he shares with his wife , Karen . Together , the Nobles founded and now oversee Restoration Word Ministries .
As a man of deep faith , Noble started his ministry in 1998 , doing a weekly radio show and outreach to the poor . He credits his wife with coming up with the idea of combining her husband ’ s ministry with his restaurant experience to open a not-for-profit restaurant whose profits would go exclusively to feeding the poor .
The King ’ s Kitchen , whose motto is “ feeding the body , soul and spirit ,” opened on N . Trade Street in uptown in 2010 . It serves the community in three important ways , all of which strive to be a place “ where the hungry feed the hungry .” The King ’ s Kitchen Restoration Program offers an extensive rehabilitation for a limited number of participants who are struggling with life situations . The participants in the rehabilitation program ( three this year , with hopes of reaching twelve annually in the future ) not only receive on-the-job training in the restaurant but also engage in leadership and skills classes and workshops . They also work in the adjoining King ’ s Kitchen Bakery that makes all of the bread , baked goods , gelato and other desserts for The King ’ s Kitchen and all of Noble ’ s other restaurants .
