Sam Franklin
A senior at Xenia Christian High School, Sam Franklin looks forward to studying pharmacy at Cedarville University next year. This is Sam’s first trip to Costa Rica, and he has put a lot of heart into learning words and sentences in Spanish (even though he is currently studying French in high school).
Last year he enjoyed a missions trip to Guatemala, and when looking at J-Term options this year, Sam wanted to continue spreading the Good News. Miss Clements approached him about the possibility of going to Costa Rica, and after speaking with his parents and with God, the trip sounded just right to him.
In his previous trip to Guatemala in 2010, the Holy Spirit used a simple skit he was in to lead several people to salvation. Wherever the team traveled, a stage “showed up” for us. “The trip,” Sam says, “made me understand how other people live, and how a disaster affects people.” He also learned to trust church leaders more.
This year, Sam has again participated in the evangelistic drama mime that the team has performed at parks and schools. He has also passed out tracts and learned a lot of new words, tastes, and culture.
Sam enjoys playing the violin both in high school string ensembles and in his church orchestra. He hopes to continue with music, and particularly at Cedarville University.
He reminds us that, no matter the circumstances, we need to praise God.
