Ten years with GotQuestions! Wow! Only a few months away from age 70, I can look back and say it has been a wonderful ride with this ministry. Currently living in Wisconsin, raised in Illinois, university schooling in Nebraska, Virginia and Texas, and having lived in six towns in Texas (Midland, Houston, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Dallas and Del Rio) along with short stints in Denver and Alabama, both before and interspersed with my geology career overseas, which took me and my family to Indonesia, Nigeria, Kuwait, Qatar, Argentina, Russia and India (while taking language lessons in each country and becoming fluent in none of them!). It suffices to say that my adult years have been spent constantly on the move. When combined with frequent offsite business travel, this nomadic lifestyle made me seek out ministries that could hit the road with me, and GQ has been superb in that role. I have been able to answer questions from places like the foothills of the Himalayas in India, and a ranch at the base of the Andes in Argentina. In addition to GQ being a mobile ministry, the time deadlines for answering questions has required me to dig into the Word even when I didn’t feel like it, i.e. an enforced spiritual regimen. To be truthful, my reasons for GQ volunteering were pretty much self-serving, something that would make me feel better about myself, but along the way, I found God working on my heart, helping me see beyond my petty ego and truly care for my answer recipients, putting them into my prayer life and viewing them as real people. Not to be overlooked, answering questions on difficult topics forced me to periodically do important reading and rethinking to further crystallize my views. The GQ work, out of personal convenience, caused me to memorize quotes and Scriptures, forming a useful repertoire that freely comes to mind in my daily walk of faith. Through it all, GQ has become part of my life. I feel I have been more blessed by GQ than it has been blessed by me. Thank you for these ten years and may God continue to enrich and grow this ministry.
Sincerely,
Steve W.
