A year after Honduras and some of us are down in Los Mochis, Mexico to (you guessed it) build something, play with kids and preach the gospel. Well, it was a little different this time. The Baptist association for the state of Sinaloa asked us to teach some of their pastors. We prepared and practiced with one another and trusted God (for real, because we're all just regular people with jobs and stuff). My 30 minute presentation was squeezed down to about 12 minutes in a very hot room at Betel Bautista. The pastors were gracious and again I was touched by the reality of this Body of Christ phenomenon. Here are all of these people and we're separated by distance, language, customs and culture yet there is a familiarity and openness we shared. Jesus said "they" (meaning those on the outside who do not yet know him) would know we are his disciples if we love one another. I think the church is getting closer to this.
