Ten Year Anniversary Volunteer Profiles

November 1st, 2018
November brings Thanksgiving in the US. We like to take the November newsletter as an opportunity to say a special thank you to all of you for all the ways you serve with us in ministry. We are truly grateful for you! Rather than a sample Q&A, you'll notice in this newsletter a celebration of volunteer writers for whom 2018 marks ten years of service with Got Questions. We've asked them to share a bit about why they became involved with Got Questions, why they've remained with us, and their time serving. Enjoy! HAPPY TEN-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! Jonathan . . .
