QUEST 25
Q25 WRAP UP!
Quest 25 is officially complete! It's bittersweet but we are so thankful to be back and to be sharing what God has taught us throughout this process. Lifelong friendships and memories have been formed throughout the past 8 months and we don't want it to stop there. Throughout our time together, we've witnessed the power of God's love and Global Church in action.
Quest 25 is a marker in all of our lives; a reminder of what it looks like to love as Jesus loved. The transition back won't be easy, and it shouldn't be. As we journey through life, let's carry with us the lessons we've learned and the experiences we've gained. Let the burden to serve others humbly be heavy in our hearts.
Let us continue to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, denying ourselves and serving our neighbor.
"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 (NIV)
