GPS Life Journey Story: Don Gunther (Former Executive of Global Corporation)
I was fortunate to have a significant level of business success throughout the world. I spent 40 years with the Bechtel Group, the world's leading engineering and construction firm. We worked in 120 countries, engineering and building some the most complicated and largest structures that were ever constructed. In the later stage of my career, the Engineer and Construction Society awarded me the best executive award for the 1990's. When I retired, I was Vice Chairman and was responsible for all of our business units around the world. I thoroughly enjoyed my career with Bechtel.
I tried retirement with the big house and the big boat but soon realized I needed to contribute back more. With some friends, I got heavily involved with the Naples Wine Festival and we raised over 100 million dollars for the local charities emphasizing help for the abused and abandoned children. In 2009, I also joined the board of the Immokalee Foundation which helps the impoverished migrant children of Immokalee, Florida to improve their education and help them find a suitable career plan and a job.
Although I was contributing my leadership time to my golf club and my community association and to two other non-profits, I still felt something was missing. That's when a friend introduced me to the GPS Life Journey. It all started with a question to me that asked me if I knew why God put me on this earth. The GPS Journey helped me focus on the skills I had and how I might use them to help others and increase my impact in the world. It helped me evaluate my strengths and weaknesses and through it, I began to identify where God would like to use me.
Coupled with my commitments to my family, I felt called to accept the Chairmanship of the Immokalee Foundation. I have been working at this for the past year and I think we have improved the organization focus and are improving the chance of success for about 800 children.
The GPS Life Journey was very significant in my finding and fulfilling my life purpose.

GPS Life Journey Story: Dawn Birch (Professional Singer)
After taking the GPS Life Journey course, it is as though God turned over and reordered the puzzle pieces of my life and showed me who I am. I now have a heightened sense of His Holy Spirit working in the world and I am much more sensitive to the various situations and people He has positioned around me.
The GPS Life Journey helped me to understand, focus, sharpen and utilize all my unique God given personality traits, skills, gifts, and passions. Then I was able to take that knowledge and answer the question, "God, now what and why?"
I now understand why God gave me a 3-octave voice, a six-foot frame, and a platform to perform for literally thousands of influential people each year. It was not just for me to provide entertainment for the wealthy, pay my own bills, and enjoy a little bit of notoriety. Instead, it was to be a bold and faithful influence to my audiences of the grace and mercy of JEVOHAH God and persuade them to be reconciled to Him through His Son, Jesus the Christ. Over the years He has provided amazing avenues of influence for me. (From sometimes reaching thousands via newspaper articles, concerts, and "fan mail" to intimate one on one conversations with wardrobe designers.)
My personal relationship with Jesus has grown drastically since applying everything I have learned in the GPS Life Journey and it has also helped me see how others fit into God's plan. (How I wish my husband and I had taken this course 19 years ago, as it would have saved us from many arguments … but that's an entire other thesis.)
The GPS life journey has helped me to know myself and what I am to do while on this earth. I now look forward to the day, with hope, when God will say to me “Well done good and faithful servant,” when I complete all He has planned for me to do while here on earth.
