What made you want to join Chadasha?
Actually, I never officially joined Chadasha. Sophomore year, they asked me to run sound for their home concert at the end of the year, and so I did just as a one time thing. And then, at the end of the concert, they asked me if I wanted to be their sound engineer for the next year. And I said, "Well, that'd be really fun, but we'll see if I have time." So, I never said "no" and I never said "yes", so they just kind of assumed that I was gonna do it; so I did it. And it's really fun...um... I did it because 'a' they let me play with their sound system and 'b' because they're really really awesome people, and being around them is a lot of fun, and they're a great support system...
I asked more questions in the interview, but the overall feeling of the interview is that this girl was needed at one point for her gifts, and the members of Chadasha at that time encouraged her to serve with her gifts. She met the need, ended up loving the community so much that she has been a part of the Chadasha community for two years now. She has stepped up as a leader when the time allowed for it, and she has built lasting friendships through music, fellowship, and service (pretty much the vision of Chadasha).
Chadash means to refresh. So, the "refreshing" isn't only for the people they reach out to, but it comes to those who are doing the refreshing as well!
