Founders Video

In this video, the five initial founders of Bend-A-Knee-33 share their vision and hopes for the direction of our www.BendAKnee33.com website and movement to share the Love of Jesus Christ with the world thru the simple bending our knees and flashing the 33 sign of our arms crossed over our heart and three fingers up to give the 33 sign.

Our Lord Jesus Christ died and was resurrected at 33 years old and by our simple act of bowing our knee and showing the 33 sign we are giving Christ the Glory that He deserves.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

Billy Graham

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.

I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me
