Reflections

Hello dear team members and friends,

It was wonderful to spend a week in Culiacan with you, whether physically with you there or whether you were elsewhere and praying for and thinking of those of us in Culiacan. Thank you for your support, encouragement, and love. It is beautiful to experience companerismo with you, whether close by or far apart. (now that I have an english keyboard I wont be able to include the ~ or ' in my spanish words anymore!)

 
Each of us, who experienced the trip physically or vicariously, are a part of a great team, a part of God's transformational work on this beautiful earth with its beautiful people. Seeing and experiencing what we did in Culiacan is a part of that transformational work in our own lives, and will flow out into how we partner in the work for the lives of others. God's transformational work is happening in Culiacan, and is happening beyond Culiacan; it is needed in Culiacan, and it is needed beyond Culiacan.  We need to partner with each other, share, be accountable, and learn from one another as we seek to be a part of God's work. Let's all remember this as the days and weeks go by, and may they never separate us from these experiences or companerismo.

 
To all, whether you came with us to Culiacan or read or heard about it, 
  • What did you see, hear, smell, feel, taste, think, sense, or experience during that week that is becoming a part of God's transformational work in you?
  • And what did you see, hear, smell, feel, taste, think, sense, or experience that is becoming a part of God's transformational work through you?

Thank you for your piece in this tapestry.
It has been a joy and a gift to journey with you.

 

Peace be with you.
