  • Resumen

  • Cara Anderson and AJ Boucher pour themselves into everything they do for Hope College and Hope College Athletics. Anderson, who is graduating this December after majoring in social work, has been a team manager for the Flying Dutch women’s lacrosse team. The Adrian, Michigan, native and Lenawee Christian High School graduate also works in the college’s admissions office as a tour guide and team leader. Boucher is a junior elementary education major and a midfielder on the Flying Dutchmen soccer team. The Delton, Michigan, native and Richland Gull-Lake High School graduate also works as a campus tour guide. Earlier this summer, Anderson and Boucher stepped away from familiar roles to serve during a Sports Evangelism to Equip Disciples (SEED) mission trip to Costa Rica. Both talked about their experience in Season 4’s fifth episode of the Hope Athletics Orange and Blue Podcast. "Emotional" journey As part of the mission trip, the group delivered Sawyer water filters to remote areas of the country. These filters, which can last for as many as 20 years, provided a poignant reminder of how God can work through us, Anderson said. “We did some sports camps with kids out in those communities. One of these days we were up in the mountains … and it was super hot,” Anderson said. “One of the girls on our team asked one of the little girls she was with ‘Do you want some water?’ For the first time, that girl could have been like ‘I have clean water.’ That made me so emotional. We are so blessed here [in the United States]. We have clean water. In those communities, they rely so heavily on each other and the community that's right there. Taking them clean water was such a gift. “We got to share the gospel with the water filters. Jesus makes us clean and he doesn't care if we're dirty and messy and no matter what, we come out clean. The combination of all those things was such a gift, really shifted my perspective.” Boucher felt God working throughout the sports camps as well. “We had lacrosse, soccer, and basketball. We did some jump rope. We blew some bubbles as well,” Boucher said. “Every single one of them [soccer] was their favorite sport. I think for me, it touched me because it brought me a new joy to see that to my sport. I think I appreciated soccer a little bit more coming back to the States. “Honestly, it has given me a reason why I want to be a coach in the future. I want to see kids with that joy that I saw playing the sport that I love in Costa Rica. I want to see that joy here in the States. I think right now, soccer's growing, but I want it to get to a point where it's the most popular thing and it just brings that joy that I saw in Costa Rica. That really impacted me a lot.” Written transcript
