Yesterday, I visited Hope Secondary School in Beit Jala with Brenda and two other friends. The visit was our first since the death of Solomon Nour, the school's beloved headmaster and our good friend. In the words of many, Solomon Nour was Hope School.
Although the halls and classrooms were filled with teachers and students, there was an emptiness which one could feel. Our visit was not the same as previous stops. Solomon's spirit, his encouraging words, and his deep faith were profoundly missing. Upon leaving, I wondered if we would ever return.
Today, I know that we must return and continue as partners in this ministry. Solomon is no longer there, but his beloved children are. They need all of us who loved Solomon and them.
Hope School is struggling to carry on the legacy. Funds and partners are needed as never before. Please join me in recommiting to the ministry of our Lord among His children.
What a wonderful man who minstered to His children. I can't imagine Hope School without him.
