In 2001, Richard Henderson was leading worship at conferences where men would experience powerful encounters with God — only to return to everyday life, quickly shifting back to conversations about sports, work, and routine. He knew there had to be more — something that had “hang time,” as he called it. A place where men wouldn’t just be moved in the moment, but changed for a lifetime.
That search for more led Richard to the mountains of Ruidoso, New Mexico, where he spent several days alone with God. In that quiet place, God revealed the framework for what would become Quest — a 5 day journey designed to remove distractions, awaken identity, and create space to hear His voice clearly.
Shortly after, Richard and 12 men returned to the mountain to test what God had shown him, and Quest was born.
Since then, thousands of men and women have stepped into the lifelong pursuit of more. Some come desperate for change. Some are searching for purpose. Others are seasoned believers who know there is still more to discover. Questers come from every background — pastors, skeptics, churchgoers, and the unchurched alike. But one thing remains true for all: No one leaves the same.
