A 4:15 am wakeup call shocked all of us, but seeing our leader John and fearless bus driver Javier brightened everything for today. We made it safely through Customs in Miami and then landed in Chicago. The bus is just through rush hour traffic and we have a couple of hours left until we make it back to Holland. Thank you to Coach V for the dinner food (the homemade Rice Krispie treats were amazing) on the bus so we didn’t have to stop. We are grateful for the angels that protected us this entire week and for the impact a trip like this can have. We pray that the seeds that were planted may multiply and help to transform the world. Special thanks to our friends at Go Ministries (what an outstanding organization) who are doing amazing things that are literally changing the world for people. Check out their work at gomin.org/ We also want to thank Sawyer (https://www.sawyer.com/products/international-bucket-system) who financially supports these trips for Hope Athletics. Click the link above to learn more about the opportunity SEED trips are given to help bring clean water to communities who still live without safe water to drink. Providing the chance for student-athletes and staff to be a part of experiences like this is truly life changing and transformational. If you would like to hear more about what Hope Athletics is doing to create men and women who transform the world, please reach out to us. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. We are grateful for what we have, what we are able to do and for how God has blessed this trip.
God Bless and Go Hope!
