Catching Up with Kyle McQuillen

Kyle McQuillen (right), former Director of Global Ministries (1993-2001), has been diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes. He wrote earlier this week, “They found a mass in a routine MRI following up on my back surgery last year. I will be contacting an oncologist locally and having a PET Scan on January 19. I feel fine and am asymptomatic. Fortunately, the cancer appears to be treatable and I’ll know more after the visit to the oncologist and the PET scan this week.

“I am working fulltime at the Tomoka Correctional Institution in Daytona Beach as a Chaplain, where I run two re-entry dorms for 264 inmates returning to the free world. I also continue working as pastor of visitation at the Edgewater Alliance Church. I’ll continue working even if I have to have chemo, which is likely.”

Kyle and Marlouise McQuillen came to the United Brethren church when they served as missionaries in Sierra Leone 1983-1985. Kyle later joined the national office staff as an associate director of Global Ministries for a couple years, and then left that position to pastor College Park church in Huntington, Ind., 1989-1993. After eight years as Director of Global Ministries, he and Marlouise “retired” to Edgewater, Fla.
