Delivering Hope models faith at work-literally! Follow Todd Stewart’s journey from a young man starting out in his father’s business venture to his time as CEO of Gulf Winds, where he steered the company toward an ever-greater impact for the kingdom of Christ. Does leading by faith seem like an impossible route to success in business and life? Think again. By submitting everything to Christ, Todd discovered the truest path to “the life that is really life.” In Delivering Hope, he shares the joys and struggles of living this out in the workplace, within his family, and on the mission field, leaving us clear footprints to follow. God has richly blessed Todd’s business, his family, his colleagues, and countless others across the globe-many of whom have come to know Christ as Savior and Lord.
Todd Stewart is first and foremost a follower of Christ one who seeks to live out kingdom principles and pursue kingdom growth on a daily basis.
Beginning as a forklift operator and later becoming CEO of Gulf Winds, he charted an unusual course for the company: faith first-and profit followed. Todd graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a bachelor’s degree in marketing in 1996 before joining his father in the bold logistics venture of Gulf Winds. His wife, Nikki, has adventured side by side with him through his rise to CEO; the raising of their two beautiful children, Lexi and Lane; and his travels across the globe, sharing the gospel of Christ with family, friends, and colleagues-and with those hungry to hear.
Through the years, Todd has been honored by C12 with the Hero Award and by International Cooperating Ministries with the Rock Award. Todd personally lived the Gulf Winds story-as a son, an employee, the CEO, and finally through the sale of the business. As he dared to run the family company with the mission of impacting eternity and a determination to put God first in it all, he saw firsthand the incredible things God will do with a business devoted to Him.
