A Different Mexico / Part V

(Taken from Ken Brooks' blog – FIMUpdate – this post is part 5 in his Mexico Series.  Get to the other posts here – FIMUpdate)

Previously, I mentioned a rather messy ride from Cuernavaca to Puebla. What would have been an hour and half drive by car, ended instead with 2 additional by bus. That wasn’t too huge a deal, save we had someone waiting at the station in Puebla to pick us up. And even that would not have been so bad, had the movies they aired over that long ride, lacked the strong, sexually, immoral overtones they did. Still, I rather enjoyed the newer, Spanish translation of “Planet of the Apes”. Would have watched it 3 times, in fact.

November 6 – Nicaragua

Prayers requested and appreciated as three of us are headed to Managua, Nicaragua tomorrow for the 3rd installment of the Youth Event we helped start a few years back.  This time we have opened the event up to youth in a broader way, as the last two times was focused on youth pastors/leaders only.

Last time we were there, the participants decided that what was necessary was a clearer sense of identity, hence the name Identity2012.  Here is a shot of the last gathering:

Here is a link to the site:  Identity2012

Please agree with us in prayer that the Lord will reveal himself as the source of true identity.

Please ask for the right words to be spoken, at the right time, and that revelation would go forth from the Lord, helping to establish this emerging generation in the faith.

Thanks for your help, and blessings to you!

We will be posting updates during the trip here.
