Pastor at pulpit Letter From the GuideStone President

Dear Friends,
Each year, as I look through the stories gathered in this magazine, I am reminded of the privilege God has entrusted to us at GuideStone. Ministry happens in every kind of setting — churches large and small, ministries well known and ministries known only to the Lord. Faithful men and women serve day after day, often without recognition. To support them in their calling is both a responsibility and an honor.
