- A decision was made by Qwanoes, and accepted by Jim Badke, Kaléo Leader, that Jim will continue to serve as the Kaleo Leader until the end of May, and he has agreed to train a new person during the year who will become the Kaleo Leader after that point.
Jim and Qwanoes hope to maintain a close relationship in the future, which could include working in cooperation for possible new opportunities.
This current Kaleo year will look similar and be run similar to past Kaleo years. One difference will be that Qwanoes will be seeking to hire a potential new Kaleo leader as soon as possible. The plan would be for that person to observe and learn, and gradually become more involved as the year progresses.
Both Jim and all the Qwanoes leadership look forward to this new Kaleo year and are excited about how God will work in the lives of these new students. Jim and the Qwanoes leadership see this year as an opportunity to model a good transition for all involved.
At the same time, we are currently without a Student Life Leader at this point. As you may have heard, the decision was made not to have Kristie Voth step back into the role this fall. We will start this year with two interns and myself, along with assistance from Jay Kennedy, the Assistant Director, and we will trust that a Student Life Leader will be found soon. Your prayers are appreciated in this year of grace.

Jim, what a steadfast man you are. A faithful servant. I think about what you have formed and have led for the past seven years, and I am filled with so much thanks to God for what he has done through you! Thank you Jim for giving all of us an example to follow, as you have followed the example of Christ. I pray that you would really experience so much blessing through this next year of Kaleo. I pray that God would be filling each day with peace that truly transcends all typical emotions that should occur to your position. May you experience more and more of God's grace as you remain faithful to his calling this year.
Isaiah 55:12-13 (The verses that you sent all of us k7s off with during our last chapel down on the beach is the same one that I give to you now going into a new year)
Much love Jim! I'm excited to hear stories of his grace!

Screw hallmart, this is from the heart.
Dearest Abraham.
WoW is my first thought and my second is this…
In my life I have encountered many people…( most people do)… The difference between you and many others is, well I actually listen to you.
In case you forgot you are many people’s heroes. You have invested in so many lives I am sure you have lost count, but they haven’t.
Thank you for always putting others before yourself.
Your friend Katie aka Physician
