We are grateful…

November 8, 2017 By Rick Wattman

We recently created a brochure highlighting our Year of Gratitude. Each of us was asked to write a few words about why we are thankful to serve with FaithSearch. It was an exciting though challenging opportunity to distill my thoughts: we had a strict word limit.

Here is what I wrote:

I’m grateful to be part of the FaithSearch team since 2001. Recently, I found an old journal from 1977, when I was exploring what to do with my life. I was caught by my use of the word “evidence,” especially given what I do today in my Gospel-with-evidence ministry at FaithSearch:

I’ve always liked to learn. I’ve been good at formal proof & argument–evidence, etc. … but how–in what capacity–Scripture? Science? How can I best use my mind to glorify God? … I pray for knowledge of & the desire to seek out the way God wants me to go.

That was forty years ago, even as FaithSearch was being born across the country. I studied journalism, worked in television, advertising, computers, Internet, and ministry. Now I am grateful to be here, where all those twists and turns are being used by God at FaithSearch, in answer to my prayers.

What People Are Saying…

Answered Prayer

Thanks for what you do. I just received the free DVD with my donor receipt letter. It was truly an answer to prayer. I have felt a pull during my prayer time to engage more with those in my family who do not know Christ. I went to the mail and there was my free ... Read more >>
