i2: What I'm Learning
What's your i2 story? As we open our hands and pray the imagine2 prayer asking God to do everything He wants to do IN me so that He can do the impossible THROUGH me, what has he been showing you? This page is dedicated to those learnings along the way. Take a while to browse through these stories and then take some time and send us your own story of what you have been learning through imagine2!
i2 Stories
When I2 started, I had just bought a new home based on 2 incomes. Well my wife decided to go back to school that left only my income. There was no way, I said to myself, I had more money going out than coming in. I really just decided to trust God in this and here we are, my wife graduates on May 9. We are still in our home and I don’t even know what to say. We trusted Jesus by doing the natural and he stepped in and did the supernatural. We love you Jesus!

This year has been especially hard for me. I was afraid I pledged more than I thought would be possible for me to give, since I lost one of my 2 jobs. God gave me the number and I have put my trust in him. So far, he has provided when I thought there was no way. I am truly blessed to have come to him here at Quest and I have no doubt he will continue to see me through. God bless Quest.

Even in the toughest of times, we’ve always tithed. Its been a simple life but there has always been room for hospitality and generosity. I2 took our concept of sacrifice to a whole new level. Increase giving?...kids in college…salary cutbacks because of hard times in the U.S….DAILY expenses for everything…. The answer from the time I2 started until this day is “Yes.” May God continue to bless us so that we can not only sustain, but increase in this grace of giving.

I have never given nor been dedicated to give to a capital campaign. However, in building an actual relationship with Christ I have found a new desire and devotion to give unselfishly in order to include more people into HIS kingdom. It’s all that really matters…, God can & will work thru our lives (as he has done through mine) to remove the scales from our eyes & experience a gradual surrendering. I am sooo blessed to contribute, it’s unquestionably an extension of my love to God.

Just as i2 began, I found out my job was being eliminated. The old me would have been angry and worried. Now I know Jesus has bigger and better plans for me. All that’s required of me is to lean in and trust.

I’ve been so encouraged by a family that has seen their finances take a dramatic hit. Their hope and investment in imagine2 has grown. They’ve refused to let their circumstances dictate God’s plans for their lives and the church.
When we started looking at our budget and what we could give, there was such a big gap between what we wanted to give and what looked possible with our budget. After sitting down with an i2 financial counselor, we literally watched God give us back the opportunity by showing us how we could practically sacrifice and give the amount we had been hoping for.
