Quest Update 7/29

July 30th, 2008

All men are called by God to be leaders; unfortunately, many young men develop a severely skewed perspective on what leadership is, how it should be exercised, and who should be leaders.
Cpt. Keon Pendergast, the current commanding officer of ALERT Basic Training, taught two sessions on leadership. Drawing from Scripture, he dispelled several common myths about leadership and taught the students on the two most important (but also most often overlooked) aspects of true, Biblical, manly leadership: servanthood and love.


An integral part of Quest involves service to others. A key part of this service is the daily time spent washing the dishes after lunch.

Many times throughout the day, different teams have the opportunity to engage in recreational activities such as soccer, frisbee, or basketball.

Where Week One focuses on foundations, and Week Two focuses on character and purpose, Week Three delves into the practical skills men need to serve the Lord effectively.
Monday, July 28, focused heavily on teaching them about prayer. The students watched The Power of Prayer by Keith Daniels and then spent about an hour in prayer with their groups. This activity bonded the teams and allowed them to witness the power of prayer.

On Saturday, the Quest students worked through the challenging ALERT Low Ropes course with their teams. This course is stretching physically but deals even more directly with the areas of teamwork and communication.
