God has a way of bringing things around full circle. He can do this because He is sovereign over all things, and He knows the beginning and the end.
Back in the late 80s Doug started his engineering career in fire alarms …. In other words “life safety” work. The fire alarm panel that he helped design as lead engineer on a talented team with Electro Signal Labs (ESL) helped propel him into “spiritual life safety” ministry since he was able to pay off his loans after finishing the project and begin missionary service.
As we travel, from time to time we see that fire alarm panel still in use in various buildings, which is an encouragement to Doug! The local Christian AM/FM radio station, KTWG, is one such building and Doug recently helped repair the panel as one of his first projects with Para Tech Ministries (PTM).
We have seen God work in this way to use our past experiences for His glory, and I am sure many of you can attest to the same thing. Denise didn’t expect to be able to use her dietetics degree with TWR, but in 1999 Guam began the pilot project of Women of Hope program to Asia and she was able to be a part of the original team writing some nutrition scripts. We have seen this type of thing happen time and time again. What past experience has God surprised you with in your personal ministry?
