I was there for a concert of prayer and worship that was being broadcast via satellite to other gatherings on campuses across the nation. That night, VT was a beacon to the nation.
Now the eyes of the world are on this campus and through the chos little gliimers of light are shining. As families and friends grieve the loss of those they love the campus is trying to figure out how to move forward into more hopeful days. The mourning will last, but the story is far from over. The memory and legacy of those who have left us will endure, while those who remain will find grace to live with more urgency and love.
At some point the news story will fade and the world will move on, but in those days our hearts will remain steadfast for the Hokie family. And, though it's a small gesture, Passion has made available an EP of five songs of hope and restoration to anyone around the world looking for an anchor in these days. The EP is free at Hopeforthehokies.com.
As well, we are asking everyone in the Facebook world to help us change the face of Facebook on Monday, April 30, by changing their profile pic for at least one day to remember the Hokies and stand for hope for all the campuses of the world. If you have a Facebook, visit Facebook United For Hope, join the group and do everything you can to get your friends involved on April 30.
If you haven't checked it out, the new Passion Podcast - Hope For The Hokies - it's now available at iTunes.
Jesus is the light of the world.
