We are on our last day in Chiapas. Please continue to check this blog for the next couple of days, I hope to get some other reflections posted by each of the team members.
This morning we had breakfast at the Zapatista Restaurant and we have done a lot of shopping.
Today they are celebrating the 484 anniversary of the founding of San Cristobal. There are tons of people, dancing, etc. I can't imagine what it will be like tonight.
At 3:00 p.m., we will go to the Seminary, SIM, and meet with the students and Ricardo Mayol one last time. We will be thinking and dreaming about how we can form a lasting partnership with the people of Chiapas.
Prayer Requests:
- Our trip home: Normally, this is not much of a concern. I am not a nervous traveler. However, tonight is the beginning of daylight savings time. And, there has frequently been miscommunication about who is picking us up and at what time (we were three or four hours late leaving Chacacal). With an early flight tomorrow, a two hour drive, and the time change, I am nervous about the connections.
- Pray for Doris: Doris is having some significant health issues. She has been back in Puerto Rico for over three months. We are concerned about her health and the ministry in Chiapas.
- Pray for a church planter: ABCRM is in the beginning stages of planting another church in Colorado. While this is very early, we want to make sure we are seeking God's guidance and trusting God to provide the right church planter (perhaps a pastor here in Mexico) to work with this new church.
- Pray for us to find was of working together that empowers the people here, not create dependency on us.
