Gary Sparks and Following God's Direction

Several years into his professional career as an architect, Gary Sparks received a message from God. "Use architecture as a ministry, and I'll take care of the rest," God told him. Gary obeyed, and soon after that his career began to change dramatically. He eventually went on to design the major renovations to both Gallagher-Iba Arena and Boone Pickens Stadium at Oklahoma State University. He tells the story of career to Andrew in this second half of their conversation.

Gary Sparks and the Path of Perseverance

Gary Sparks has one of the most compelling stories you'll ever hear. He and his family moved around the country 39 times before he graduated from high school. His first job was working as a janitor in an office building. But God led him eventually to study architecture and to use his profession as a ministry to show others how to follow Jesus. His story of perseverance in the face of great odds is inspiring.
