Birthday: September 10

Favorite Band: My favorite band would definitely be Relient K, Switchfoot, and Superchic.

Favorite Movies: My top favorite is The Goonies, I love that movie sooo much. It makes me laugh hysterically.

Why I come to VQ: I
Coming to VQ is a necessity for me. Whenever I come to VQ it feels like a recharge from everyday life and the burdens that come with it. At VQ you're surrounded by people who care about you and don't mind you talking about your problems. VQ is just full of amazing and diverse people.

Favorite God Moment: I find that every God moment is my favorite, but my favorite kind of God Moment would be when my friends who either don't know who God is or doesn't want anything to do with him, for the first time feels his power, and they are filled with the holy spirit. It makes me happy because now they know that there is a God that is real!

Check out the photos on Picasaweb from the February Rockshow.

Our next show is March 8th. Don't miss it!!!!

Kevin King

Kevin King the ultimate ladies man, a student leader in VQ, and one of our faithful rock show sound crew, sheds some light on what he's all about:
Birthday
October 28th, 1991

Pet Peeve:
Ending sentences with prepositions, and thats it.
Seriously, it would be people who judge others without really getting to know who that person is. Whenever I see a person like that I think about all the friends I have that I might never have made if I had been unwilling to accept them and not judge them. Some of my best friends would be on that list, I can't imagine life without them.

Favorite Band
Cake is in my top 3 but I like such a wide range I'm hesitant to say one band definitely.

Favorite Movies
Anchorman, The Usual Suspects, Across the Universe

Why I come to VQ:
VQ is like a nice cool shower after a hard day's labor. You can come worn out from your week at school and just relax in some excellent company plus have quality God time. On my birthday, my mother was surprised that I wanted to go to VQ but to me, the thought of not going was more absurd. VQ is like my family, who wouldn't want to spend their birthday with their family?

Favorite God Moment:
I would have to go with one of the evening sessions during the Mississippi trip. It started out like a normal evening, but it ultimately led to a bunch of different people coming out with some personal issues and asking for prayer. It was really powerful to see these people willing to be vulnerable and ask for help. For me, it just showed that it doesn't matter how old you are or how religious you are if you want help or want to give help. Being able to be completely real with others of your own age and have them respond by building you up rather than judging you is just amazing.
