I have started receiving pictures from both chaperones and students of our most recent International Biblical Studies (IBS) trip to Costa Rica. I was reminded of the sacrificial giving by so many family and friends of SBEC to make this trip possible. I was reminded of how so many of the students worked extra to raise money to help pay for their trip. The pictures reminded me of the projects and ministries we were blessed to be involved in during our seven days in Costa Rica.
I recall students touching so many different lives with the message of hope, hope that is only found in Jesus Christ. Some of our students prayed, some shared, some sang, some painted, some gave, but whatever they did, the message was the same, hope. Hope is a great word! Maybe the best word in all of the English language. With no hope, what’s left? What do you do? Hopelessness is sad, but hope on the other hand is completely different. Everything changes with hope.
That’s what our students were doing this past spring break. They were sharing hope with a hopeless world. As a result of this past Easter season, the cross, and the empty tomb, we should all be reminded of the hope we have because we know and serve a risen Savior. His name is Jesus, and Jesus is Lord!
