Hope Shifts

This morning we talked to Sergio Gomez who founded Tijuana Christian Mission along with Martha Gomez. He and Martha have created an incredible legacy that is continually determined to shine God's best into a world of giants like addictions, prostitution, abuse of children, human bondage, and corruption.

We appreciate your prayers back home. This morning was incredibly emotional as we learned more about the problems but also as we saw Hope and Light shining through the body of Christ. His Light does shine.

My prayer is that I am able to return home not only no longer ignorant of these injustices but also no longer complacent and able to ignore them.

A recurring theme we keep running into is for the body of Christ to be bound together -- unified. We see problems with that even in our own little community back home. If we can't make it work there, how can we influence an entire world? I believe that God calls us to take whatever steps we can so that, locally and then globally, we stand united as the body of Christ. That is when real, sweeping change can occur in this broken world.

More later.
