It’s no secret that I love what I do. I was once asked, “If you could do any job in the world what would it be?” Without thinking I leaned over to Meredith and said, “Web designer.” (I did then say I’d also be an adventurous archeologist like Indiana Jones, but that’s besides the point)
I count myself extremely blessed to have a career that not only provides for my family, it makes me happy doing it and has provided numerous ministry opportunities along the way. We’ve created Web sites for churches, Christian bloggers, worship leaders, and non-profits with a Christian mission. It’s a very humbling and encouraging realization that the work we’ve done has made a difference in the world.
That’s what we’ve set out to do from the beginning, though. Our company name comes from the Latin phrase, “Dominus illuminatio mea,” meaning “the Lord is my light.” We serve all kinds of companies and organizations, with many different backgrounds, but we approach each project from the same foundation. We’re not just working for a paycheck. We’re serving a higher calling, and loving every minute of it.
This career path has also opened other doors in ministry unrelated to the Web. The opportunity for remote client relationships allowed us to move the company to Colorado and support a new church. Most jobs wouldn’t provide that amount of flexibility.
The truth is, though, everything we do should have a ministerial approach. We need to realize that our career is not only overlapped by our ministry, it is completely enveloped. So, whether we’re working for a church or a corporation, we’re working hard to do everything for the glory of God. That’s the real secret to making work so fun.
So, what do you do and how do you see your career and ministry overlap?
