#CollegePrep101: "The Word Is Waiting"

"The Word is Waiting"
Quest College Ministry
@QUESTYAM

Our college ministry is titled Quest to highlight the importance of college students on their journey of faith. As you read this, you may be searching what it means to know God for yourself or grow in your faith amidst the ebbs and flows of life. As a ministry, our vision is encapsulated in the acroynm LEAD:

Loving Community
Engaging Evangelism
Activating Accountability
Delegating Discipleship

We want our college ministry and young adults ministry to grow in community, reaching others for Christ, being held accountable for greater growth and disciple others to serve the Lord. In order to get there, it is important that our foundation is the Word of God! Our foundation should not be our opinions because that can change. Our foundation will not be strong based on wavering emotions. Our foundation is built on the Scriptures, the Word of God that never changes.

Right where you are, the Word is waiting on you! The Word of God is waiting on you to read it, meditate on it, pray it, and declare it! It is great to listen to life changing sermons and powerful songs, but don't forsake getting in the Word of God! You will discover on your quest that the Scriptures have something to say to you!

The Word is waiting!

Reflective Question:
Will you start your semester by reading the Word of God daily? What's your plan to do that?

QUEST Fall Semester 2011 Entry #23: "The Countdown"

The next two blog entries will be dedicated to the upcoming Young Adults Live (YAL) on Friday, September 23, 2011 at the Christ Church East Campus (68 Church Street, Montclair, NJ). The purpose of YAL was birthed out of the need for college students and young adults to interact with Scripture together, fellowship, share testimonies and grow in the Lord. Too often, this generation seems too busy and do not have time to interact with one another. If they do, it is by social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and this blog. YAL is one of the ways the ministry desires to connect young adults together for the purpose of reaching their full potential in Jesus Christ.

In the past, YAL has featured speaking on numerous topics on choices, relationships, and being bold and courageous. This time, we will focus on the topic of identity. Without giving too much away, discovering one's identity can appear to be a daunting task. With the pressures and demands in our culture today, we can become stressed to have everything together and already solidifying our direction and purpose in life. But, before we react to a world crying out for you to know who you are, we must respond to the Word of God that says, "Do you know who you are?"

Rather than just listening, this YAL will be interactive with time for us to grow and develop as a community of young adults. I encourage you to join us! For more information on the upcoming YAL, check out www.facebook.com/questyam under events. It's the final countdown -- 2 days!

THE SIDEWALK: Quick Evening Recap!

THANK YOU, LORD!

Only God could bring together college students and young adults of different backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures and life experiences for the purpose of sharing their gifts and talents and giving it back to Him! Held at the Christ Church West Campus in Rockaway, New Jersey, THE SIDEWALK Coffeehouse and Open Mic set sights on new forms of worship expressions. From Leighton Todd's "Mr. Do It" to original worship songs and poetry, SIDEWALK guests experienced the diversity of gifts, great fun and fellowship! Our special feature, Helen R, of Cityline Church shared such rich ministry with us that it lead us on our knees in confession, repentence, worship and prayer! We look forward to seeing how God uses Helen in the years to come! What a blessed woman of God!

Our house band, Fresh Fire, once again demonstrated why they are such a blessing to our ministry. Their unique sound, sensitivity to the Spirit and their new call to raise awareness to child trafficking and abuse shows their heart for God and His call. Our DJ, Isaiah, held it down on the 1s and 2s! There were gift giveaways, testimonies from Lionel King (especially dealing with his elementary school students) and yes, the meeting of new people, forming new bonds and growing together regionally!

Thanks to all who participated and ministered at THE SIDEWALK. In case you missed it or would like to recapture the moments, photos and videos will be posted on our blog as well as Facebook at www.facebook.com/questyam! Thank You, Lord! Only YOU can do it!

THE SIDEWALK: Prayer & Fasting (Friday, February 18, 2011)

Prayer and fasting are disciplines of a disciple of Christ. These disciplines humble us (Psalm 35:13) and helps us to become even more sensitive to the promptings and voice of God. As the QUEST College Ministry and Young Adults Ministry of Christ Church prepares for the upcoming SIDEWALK event, one of our prayer leaders (Julian Denis) recommended that we pray and fast the day before the event beyond the leadership team. For those interested in partnering with us, we will be fasting tomorrow, Friday, February 18, 2011 and eating one meal. During our fasting times, we are praying that God will use this event for transformation, restoration and activation of faith for every young adult.

Thank you in advance for partnering with us in prayer, fasting and encouraging this generation to rise up for Christ!
