LaQuentin (Q) was first introduced to The Impact Movement as a student
at the University of Toledo. At the time, Q was not living for Christ,
but while attending an Impact Conference he rededicated his life to
Christ. Q vowed to never miss an Impact Conference after that.
Eleven days after that conference Q joined the U.S. Army Reserves and
has completed one tour in Iraq as an engineer and is currently on his
second. For every tour of duty each soldier gets two weeks of leave;
instead of Christmas or his birthday. Q used his leave this year to
attend an Impact Regional Conference.
Even in the midst of war, Q remains unwavering in his pursuit of Christ.
His faith overflows to those around him. A fellow solder rededicated his
own life to Christ with Q by his side in Iraq. Q and other Christian
troops gather regularly to encourage one another and live by Proverbs
27:17, sharpening one another as iron sharpens iron.
Q is not anxious about his role in the war. “I can’t think about what
might happen. I really try to have the same mind that Paul had as he
faced death for what he believed, ‘to live is Christ, to die is gain.’”
Would you pray for Q? Pray for his safety and others as they serve our
nation in Iraq. Pray for the hearts of the troops there and for those
who minister to them. Pray that in the midst of the turmoil that
surrounds them, that they turn to Christ to be their strength. Pray for
the troops that Q will come in contact with, and that his fervor for
Christ will be contagious among them.
