Foreword
Their would-be tomb was the cold, steel
hull of the submarine. It had sunk days earlier
and now they were trapped on the ocean floor.
Oxygen was running low and the temperature
had plummeted. To add to their distress the
darkness enveloped them like a wet blanket.
Desperate to be rescued they tapped out Morse
code messages on the inner walls of the sub.
One of their last messages went as follows:
"Is ... there ... any... hope?"
Right now more than a billion people do not
have access to clean drinking water. Every day
16,000 children die from hunger-related causes.
In the United States alone more than 37 million

Introduction
Three-day weekendswho doesn't love

spend time with family and friends is always
welcome going into and coming out of the

could help feed a starving child, bring fresh
drinking water to desperate villages, help an
unemployed father find a job, and respond to
victims reeling from a hurricane or war?
What if I told you that in three days time you
could give countless people the kind of hope
that never disappoints or fails?

Were there throngs of reporters buzzing
around Jesus when He met people's needs? Did
He demand compensation for His deeds? Was
the inconvenience to His schedule thrown in
the faces of those He helped? Did He demand
that the people He helped be of some certain
economic or social standing?
No! He served freely and asked for nothing
in return other than the people He helped
believe in Him. We should do the same.
