Jack Gutknecht

Arizona Bible College graduate and Dallas Seminary graduate

I was a factory worker almost all my life, now retired. I used to be an addict. I fought against this sin in my life, but I could not win at all.  But I came to Christ through a Billy Graham crusade to which my grandmother took my sister and me in 1964. I played 12-string guitar in both our English and Spanish worship services at the church for 5 years and taught kids for about 50.

The "ABC/DTS graduate" means that I graduated from Arizona Bible College 'magna cum laude' and from Dallas Theological Seminary. 

I got "The Map and Compass Award" from Scottsdale Bible Church for getting my carload lost so many times on College and Career outings.  I haven't changed much.  

We are proud cat owners of a Domestic Shorthair tabby, "Sophie," who was a kitten abandoned at a busy intersection in Atlanta and who crawled into the wheel well of the car of my brother-in-law, while he was paused at a stoplight.  A nearby car had to call his attention to her before the light turned green!
