Hope is defined as “grounds for believing that something good may happen.” We largely consider it a feeling and people use it to various degrees of importance. The word is normally used to express an outcome we desire but cannot completely control. For those of us involved in this project, the word isn’t a feeling; it is the deliverable. Being hope results in something that couldn’t be explained better than in the picture above.
Scores of resources are needed to deliver this feeling with consistency. It is our belief that a college like Hope has these resources in abundance. On campus, hundreds of professors work to prepare thousands of students “for lives of leadership and service in a global society.”
We are incredibly blessed and believe that “to whom much is given, much is expected.”
The Behope Project is a way of beginning to fulfill what should be expected of us during a time that is largely set aside to receive.
As this vision continues to materialize, the evidence of the physical and spiritual ramifications have the ability to be profound. It will be incredibly exciting to see just how big of a positive difference that a small, liberal arts college can have on a community that desperately needs it.
