Linda Znachko

Linda Znachko is the founder of HE KNOWS YOUR NAME ministry. Rooted in the conviction that every life is sacred to God, and that naming children matters deeply, this ministry gives children dignity and honor in death by celebrating their LIFE. This ministry was birthed because a baby was found in a dumpster and it raised the question in Linda's heart, "what happens to abandoned babies that are unclaimed?" This injustice exposed the need that abandoned babies need to be claimed, named, and honored. Adopting babies in death was the answer to the need, so that's what Linda did, adopt them. Many of them. Linda's work was featured on a cover story by the Indianapolis Star, featured on the Steve Harvey show and highlighted in countless local and regional media outlets. For her work with families and children, Linda has received the McMiracle Award from Miracle on 38th St. Foundation and the Jefferson Award from ABC News. Having discipled women for over twenty-five years, Linda has been a speaker for women's events at churches and retreats. Her real passion is sitting one on one, listening to women share their hearts about real life issues. She and her high school sweetheart husband Steve, launched a Foundation, funding ministries around the globe, and also serve as advocates for Safe Families for Children. The Znachko's attend Antioch Church in Indianapolis where they raised their 4 remarkable children. One of Linda's greatest joys is being called "Honey" by her first granddaughter, Rose Jubilee!
