By Home Furnishings Business in Special Events on March 21, 2012 High Point University President Nido Qubein will present the message "From Success to Significance" at the 18th Annual Furniture Fellowship Prayer Breakfast.

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

Since becoming High Point University's seventh president in 2005, award winning communicator and entrepreneur Nido Qubein has led the college through what many regard as a renaissance story in higher education. During the most disruptive economic period in recent history, the college has doubled its faculty, tripled its enrollment and quadrupled its annual budget while adding more than 30 new buildings.

Ranked by U.S. News and World Report at number 3 among top regional colleges of the South, High Point University offers the world's only Home Furnishings Marketing and Design Major. In order to make the kind of impact Qubein has made and teaches his students to make, "One must travel the journey from success to significance to become the person God created you to be," Qubein said. "That means nurturing your spiritual being so you can truly experience significance in your relationships, community and profession."

Leading in music and worship at the breakfast will be Cindy Johnson, a young contemporary Christian vocalist, songwriter and guitarist and principal of Stage 2 Ministries. Cindy has recorded four full length albums, performed on stage with internationally known artists and has traveled overseas with Compassion International, an organization that works to release children from poverty.

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 for an individual, which includes breakfast. A table for 10 people costs $250; and a half-table $125. In addition to covering expenses, these funds are directed towards charities and an annual High Point University scholarship.

The Furniture Fellowship prayer breakfast has been held since 1994 at the opening of the spring High Point Furniture 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.
