It's personally a blessing to serve ministries each day in my role at 5Q. It brings great satisfcation knowing that my work will assist and enable Kingdom-building activity through the lives of brothers and sisters in many parts of the world.
This past year I've had the privilege to serve AnGeL Ministries, the umbrella organization for various Kingdom-building endeavors of Anne Graham Lotz. AnGeL Ministries is committed to giving out messages of Biblical exposition so that God's Word is personal and relevant to ordinary people. I asked Carole Inman (Director of Ministries) to write a blog post about their experience working with 5Q on their site redesign and she graciously sent us the following post. Thanks, Carole!
When we set out one year ago to overhaul our website, we had many goals – flexibility in changing content, more ways to engage our visitors, adding the use of video and audio as ways to minister, better integration of our site and our shopping cart – but, more than any goal, we wanted a site that ministered in richer and more meaningful ways, taking Anne’s messages into peoples’ lives and being able to disciple on a daily basis.
The team at 5Q has been God’s answer to our ministry’s prayers in meeting each of these goals! From the beginning, we knew they tracked with us in our primary aim – bringing glory to God through our site. It has been clear throughout the entire development process that our messages, resources and ministry were not just “client material” but a holy trust that they were now part of managing. They love the Lord and it showed in how they handled each element of our site’s content.
Chad, John and then our entire team of specialists listened to what we wanted to accomplish and, to the goal, they delivered functionality that brought our ideas to light.
- They listened with a love for the Lord and a heart for our ministry to come up with the original wireframe design.
- They found creative ways to bring our concepts into reality, like our daily e-devotional.
- They have patiently fielded our countless questions during the process.
- They flexed with us on our design changes.
- They proactively led us through the development process.
- They taught us and challenged us in areas like search engine optimization and other aspects of maximizing our site’s potential.
- They stayed with us during the launch period until every detail was handled.
- They got back to us on issues with near immediacy.
- Their team approach of having specialists from throughout the country was fun to watch and introduced us to some amazing guys who were clearly knit together with each other and with us, even though we resided in many different states.
- They even helped us work through issues on our “old site” while we were waiting on the launch of our new one.
The 5Q guys are good at what they do. But, more than that – they authentically do it for the Ultimate Good. We are SO grateful for our partnership in ministry with 5Q. In just the one month we have been live with our new site, we have come to recognize the Lord has provided greatly for our ministry through the discovery and teamwork with 5Q this past year. Thanks, 5Q Team – we feel like we have an incredible foundation from which to ministry – but, that we are just getting started!
God bless you – Carole Inman, Director of Ministries, AnGeL Ministries
