"My parents Sunday school teachers, pastors, and youth leaders had always taught me about God's love and having a relationship with him through his son Jesus. It wasn't until 2 years ago at Jr. High Summer Camp, Teen Quest, that I really understood that I needed Jesus in my life. So I got saved. It wasn't until recently that I decided I needed to take my spiritual life seriously. I want God to be the most important person in my life and to live for him and not myself. "

The Crew

Joel Glovier is the team leader of our summer mission ministry team. Each week a group of boys stay at the Teen Quest Ranch. They have work projects and prepare for campers as they come to the ranch for activities. Daily they have their quiet time along with weekly Bible Studies. This our first year with this program. We are really excited about how God is using these students. Pray for Joel Glovier and the Crew.

Board Meeting Held July 6th, 2005

OFFICIAL QUARTELY BOARD MEETING HELD AT TEEN QUEST JULY 6 - AT NOON


The official board of Teen Quest met Wed July 6th at the Teen Quest Ranch. We had a great time of discussion and voted on several matters.
· Reports were given about the growth of the camping program from last year
· We are pursuing grants, direct mail and special fund raisers to help us bring down our debt load. We have a wonderful volunteer helping with this project
· Two volunteer interns, Tabitha Daniel and Rachael Slonaker, are helping us with graphic arts and public relations this summer.
· Somerset Alliance men have agreed to build our first cabin at the Teen Quest Ranch. Once this cabin is built we will challenge other churches to build identical cabins overlooking our lake.
· A company has agreed to donate a substantial amount of insulation for our buildings at the ranch.
· Local lumber companies have donated lumber helping us complete the lodge and the stable.
· Still trying to sell the property in Mt Pleasant (across from Jimmy Paul’s restaurant) we presently have a church renting from us on the first floor
· Motion was made to pursue a company in Somerset to plan the development of the new sewage treatment plant to be installed next spring. For the past three years we have had roadblocks keeping us from moving forward. We now have the green light to pursue this project.
· Motion was made to pursue a capital campaign called “Reclaiming the Land” to raise the much needed $150,000 to complete the bathrooms in the lodge and build the sewage treatment plant. We will promote this campaign through web sites, brochures, direct mail, our ministry teams, radio and special events.
. Motion was made to hold a fall Round Up at the Teen Quest Ranch Saturday October 1st for families and friends of Teen Quest.

Happy July 4 - Week 2 Of Camp Was Great!

I hope you had a great 4th of July!

We just finished up our second week of camp here at Teen Quest and it was awesome. Many students made decisions in their walk with Christ and they went back home changed.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement. Below I posted a few pix for everyone to look at. In the next week or so we should have all the pictures from this week on the main TeenQuest.org website.

See Ya!
