In the world of land navigation, a small deviation can make a huge difference. A three-degree change in heading won’t be noticeable over 100 feet, but over 100 miles it will land someone over five miles off their original destination. That is what we are trying to do during the Quest program. Every summer, 50-75 young men ages 13-17 come spend a month on campus as part of Quest, and my goal for each one of them is that the direction of their life would move closer to Christ. Over the four weeks of the program, we won’t see much of a change. But five or ten years later, Lord willing, they will be completely different men because of their time in Quest.


The Quest program starts on July 4 this year; please be in prayer for all the students this summer as we challenge them to choose Christ-like manhood. Please also be in prayer for the leadership as we seek to model Godly manhood and disciple the men underneath us.
