Sea of Hope Ministries was founded by Darrell and Kimberly Beckum out of a deep desire to follow God’s call and share the love of Jesus Christ with the world. From the very beginning, the mission has been rooted in the command of Christ in Matthew 28:19–20—to “go and make disciples of all nations.” With that calling at the center, the ministry exists to equip believers to grow in their faith and to become disciples who make disciples. What began as a simple step of obedience has become a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness, as He has opened doors, built lasting relationships, and established a thriving mission field in St. Lucia.
As the ministry has grown, it has been a living reminder of Ephesians 3:20—that God “is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” In His perfect timing, He expanded the reach of Sea of Hope Ministries into Costa Rica, where William and Bertha Vaughn are now faithfully leading, continuing the work of sharing the Gospel, loving communities, and discipling others. Every step has been guided by His hand, proving that this is not our work, but His purpose unfolding.
At Sea of Hope Ministries, we remain humbled and grateful to be vessels for His glory, standing on the promise of Isaiah 6:8: “Here am I. Send me!” We celebrate all that God has done, while looking ahead with faith and expectation for what is still to come. With open hearts, we are ready to follow wherever He leads—into new communities, new nations, and new opportunities to proclaim the hope found in Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that in all things, He alone would be glorified as we continue to walk in obedience and trust His plan.
“Through the blessing and help of Sea Of Hope Ministries and its supporters we are excited to take the Gospel of Christ to St. Lucia.”
