In the history of HopeQuest, we have experienced seasons of planting, seasons of growth, and seasons of evaluation and pruning. In 2004, HopeQuest went through a season of pruning. Out of that season of evaluation, the TREK residential program was born. This is a powerful reminder that growth often requires pruning.
While for some change brings uncertainty and insecurity, for us, we are anticipating what God has in store for our ministry. God has proven faithful as we have remained focused on His calling.
As a part of the continued efforts to refine and refocus the vision that God has prepared, we have made some necessary changes that impact both the services we offer and HopeQuest personnel. These changes are as follows:
- The residential transition component of our continuing care program is being scaled back.
We are redirecting energy and resources to improve the quality of service being offered to TREK clients.
There is a renewed focus toward services, communication, and support for family members of TREK clients.
We are intentionally pursuing the replication of support group options in the local church to expand the number of individuals and families that can be helped in their recovery journey in the context of spiritual community.
We are emphasizing public education of mental health professionals, pastoral counselors, and churches regarding the HopeQuest model and programs through professional training opportunities.
We are thankful for the many individuals who have supported HopeQuest as staff members, volunteers, donors, and partners. As we make these changes, we ask for your continued prayers that we would remain faithful to God’s calling and steadfast in our commitment to providing the highest quality care to those we serve.
