I learned more than ever that God uses broken people to advance his kingdom. When I felt the weakest, he shows up the most. I can trust him because he is the strong and faithful one.” —Rachel Gillespie ’19 Register for a trip Domestic Spring Break Trips East Palo Alto, California THeme: Education in Urban Ministry Bayshore Christian Ministries (BCM) has been impacting the youth and families in the East Palo Alto community for over 25 years through relational and holistic ministry. Students will have an opportunity to work with full-time staff in urban ministry that focuses on the youth of the community — their spiritual growth and their education. “I was reminded of how big our God is. I saw this through the Redwood trees, a random group of Hope College students loving each other and the people around them, and an organization that is wholeheartedly serving the Lord. I was also reminded that when we ask God to reveal himself and his plans for our life, he doesn't always reveal himself in the way we expect. And even when we don't understand why or where God is, part of having faith is trusting his plans and his presence.” —Julia Wilson ’21 Denver, Colorado Theme: Poverty and Urban Ministry Mile High Ministries envisions a city where families are transcending poverty. It is a city where communities are being led by those who were once marginalized. Students will have an opportunity to learn and serve daily in the city of Denver with various Christian ministries that are engaging and offering hope in the Denver area. “I am now more aware of others around me and more certain of my faith. It also instilled a desire within me to share the hope that I have and to show God's love to those around me.” —Haley Balkema ’21 Orlando, Florida Theme: Christian Community and Development Kaley Square Ministry is located in Holden Heights, a racially diverse, low-income community a mile south of the beautiful downtown. This trip has a strong emphasis on assessment-based community development, immersion in a new culture, personal growth and forming a Christian community. Students will have the opportunity to meet and learn from community leaders and engage in some restoration projects. “By hearing each other’s testimonies and faith journeys, I was able to see the Lord at work in miraculous ways in the lives of my peers. By meeting and interacting with people in the communities we served in, I was able to see how the love of Jesus trumps any worldly hardship.” —Nina McAlvey ’20 Nashville, Tennessee Theme: Urban Ministry Center for Student Missions (CSM) will assist students to learn and gain an understanding of the issues in Nashville. Students will get a glimpse of the unique work that God is doing in Nashville. This trip is an up close view of the front line of urban ministry. Students will see what the community members face and walk alongside and support the efforts of people doing long term ministry. Watch CSM Video “Everybody was so on fire for Jesus, and the different things we did during the week allowed us to see how God can work in a variety of different settings.” —Caleb Tallquist ’20 Tarboro and Princeville, North Carolina Theme: Disaster Response & Rehabilitation World Renew is responding to disasters around the world. Often those who are already living in poverty are vulnerable when disaster strikes. Tarboro and Princeville, North Carolina, share a history of flooding and many of the homes are still in need of repair. Students can demonstrate God’s love in a real and tangible way by serving with World Renew in the Princeville community working on home restoration projects. News Coverage of Princeville Flooding Austin, Texas Theme: Homelessness Shifting the paradigm in understanding what it means to be “home.” Mobile Loaves and Fishes Ministry offers students firsthand the experience and power of community.
