Summer at Quest was a busy time of planning and preparation for the future of our church.  As an Elder Board, we spent much time in prayer and in the interview process for key ministry positions at Quest.  This past week, we made the last of our staff hires, and have been excitedly sharing the news about our new Children and Family Ministries staff members, Youth Director, and College and Community Group Ministry Director.  Whew! That's quite a few new staff! Please continue reading to learn more about Christina, Katey, Jason and Josh, and welcome them to Quest Staff!

In just under two days, Quester and 5pm service attender Linda Szeto will be heading to Kenya.  She will be working in her official capacity as a speech and language pathologist, and checking in with folks she has been in contact with since her last trip to Kenya. Take a look at Linda's blog, and check back for updates here: http://www.neuroplastictravel.blogspot.com/

Here's Linda in her own words:

Last year, students from Pirrar Secondary School for Girls in the Transmara District recited this poem for me among many other "dramas" and performances. These girls, whose parents pay high prices for their secondary education (i.e., equivalent to high school) sleep in the room next to the classroom. Their outpouring of enthusiasm for education in the midst of having nothing that we privileged Westerners have (like electricity, clean water, toilets, sealed windows, adequate textbooks, air conditioning) was enough to bring me to tears. They marveled not only at my camera, but also at the scent of my moisturizer, the spiral-binding of my notebook, the color of my US dollar bill, the texture of my chap stick.
