What is Kansas City Convoy of Hope?
Churches across Kansas City , multiple corporate sponsors, and the Green Impact Zone (http://www.greenimpactzone.org) are partnering together to host a city-wide compassion outreach called, Kansas City Convoy of Hope.

Convoy of Hope (if you're not familiar with Convoy of Hope, you can get more information at http://www.convoyofhope.org). The event will be held on June 12, at Swope Park and will touch 8,000 – 10,000 people in Kansas City ’s urban core. This will be one of the single largest outreach events in KC’s history.

The event is designed to serve the needs of each guest, by treating them as the “Guest of Honor”. A million plus dollars in goods and services will be distributed at no charge, all with the intent to give hope and honor to those in need. The event will include the distribution of groceries, haircuts, job and health fairs, family portraits, live entertainment, a meal, and a carnival for children. This has incredible implications for touching people with God’s love in a practical way with no strings attached.

What is the Arrangements Team?
The Arrangements Team is responsible to obtain much of the large equipment and supplies needed for the outreach. Recruiting site set-up and clean-up volunteers to oversee those responsibilities, plus managing the Command Center on the day of the event.
At least one hundred volunteers are needed for site set-up on Thursday and Friday, June 10th & 11th. Projects include setting up fencing, chairs, tables, electrical power, promotional banners and signs, parking lots, special construction projects and much more.

Other volunteer opportunities are also available, I will be more than happy to share those with you. Also, you may choose to be a Connections church or business that chooses to financially support the event, this will not be discussed at the meeting. For sponsoring opportunities you can find out more details on sponsorship from the website at http://www.kansascityconvoy.org or feel free to email or call me at 816.645.5424 and I will connect you to the appropriate team.

Please prayerfully consider your participation for this exciting opportunity. Let’s partner together in our community to offer hope and most important, the love of Jesus Christ to those who are desperately seeking hope in this world.

Thank you for your consideration for this life-changing opportunity.

LifeQuest Church - 1st Annual Black Light Easter Egg Hunt

At 5PM on March 27th we held our first Black Light Easter Egg Hunt in the Northland. We filled 2,000 eggs with candy and wrapped with special neon black light tape. To enter the neon bliss, you had to crawl thru a maze and then 5 children had 2 minutes to collect at least 10 eggs.

We had great give-aways, popcorn, pink lemonade, Easter tatoos, and great fellowship.

The parents were excited to bring their children out for something new. One parent commented, I just had to come to see what it would be like. Thanks for bringing the kids out for a night of fun.


As I thought about the hunt and the whole concept of searching, I thought about the God-shaped hole that we have. What have you been searching for lately? Have you been searching for anything? What about your relationship with Jesus Christ? Has God been calling you to come up higher? If you would look back on your life from last year, have you grown, stayed the same, or possibly, are you further from God? I hope that you hear God calling you to come up higher today.

Project Snuggle - Take Two

The blankets were delivered on Monday, March 22, to Cindy from the Department of Social Services. The children will receive a card with their blanket stating: We at LifeQuest Church are wishing you a special Easter. Enjoy your warm blanket. We pray that you seek the greatest Love of all, the Love of Jesus Christ. Jesus Loves you so much; You are the "Apple of His Eye".

Many Blessings,
LifeQuest Church

A huge thank you to those who worked on the blankets. Awesome job LifeQuest!
