Our Founder, Dr. William Christian, is a man of many interests. He is a husband and father of three mostly grown daughters, a professional mathematician, an experienced programmer, former professor, co-founder of a tech startup, and on the pastoral team of a local church. In this collision of worlds, he sees plenty of ideas and opportunities.
Ideas come to him from all over and, even if he didn’t have all his current responsibilities, he wouldn’t have time to pursue them all. But some ideas just stick and you can’t shake them. The QR Gospel Project is one of those ideas.
Our Founding
In 2022, while preparing for a community outreach, Dr. Christian was ordering gospel tracts–those small colorful booklets with different messages about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not sure how many to order but trying to be a good steward, he wondered, “what will we do if we run out of tracts?” Immediately, he thought that they could just have a QR code for people to scan that would take them to the digital version of the tracts. The problem was that there were no digital versions of the tracts. Alas, they ordered the traditional tracts.
Dr. Christian searched the web sure that such a ministry must exist, but couldn’t find any ministry with both the vision and doctrinal position to which he ascribed. For the next nine months, he tried to shake it. He searched again and again and couldn’t find anything. But his vision for the ministry and its potential to reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ and its life-transforming power kept growing. Finally, after talking with other Christians, including missionaries he and his family support, and a couple non-Christians too he couldn’t refuse to launch the ministry anymore without feeling a sense of disobedience.
So, the QR Gospel Project was officially founded in January 2023! Contact us today to find out more about the ministry and how you can present the gospel to anyone, anywhere.
