Sarah Ryer has sent Quest an update on her missions work in the Phillipines. Thankfully Sarah is doing very well. Below is Sarah's recent email to all of us at Quest:

Hello all! So I've been in Philippines for just over a week, and I feel as though I should write and update to all of you to let you know what I've been up to!

As many of you know, Haiti and the neighboring regions were struck by a devastating earthquake. For those that are able, consider donating to orgs doing work in Haiti. There also several in the Northwest including World Concern, World Vision, and Mercy Corps that already have a strong presence in Haiti. I also want to call your attention to the relief efforts of our denomination in Haiti.  I also invite you to be in PRAYER for the country and people of Haiti.

Greetings Quest Church,
As we prepare for the second week of Giving Sunday, we would like to encourage you to take another look at the Giving Sunday Menu we introduced last week at http://tinyurl.com/givingsunday. This year, instead of asking the congregation to give to a specific fund or need, we're asking you to join together in sharing your time and skills with the church and the greater Seattle community. This is a tangible way for us to 'give' to our community and city. We have prepared a list of options and contact information for you to volunteer to work with the local homeless community through Quest's To The Streets Ministry (deanza@seattlequest.org), local food banks (www.seattle.gov/humanservices), and many more! If you are already involved in some way, please share that information with the church. Our goal is to have as many people as possible serving alongside each other in community.
