It’s midnight [tag]Mexico City[/tag] time and I can’t sleep. I’m awake, battling a fly or two that seem to have taken a liking to me, and the [tag]bed bugs[/tag] seem to have gotten excited tonight with the rich Armenian blood to feast on. I’ve pumped a couple of antihistamines, but they haven’t worked just yet.
I’m in Mexico City as part of the planning team for InterVarsity’s [tag]Global Urban Trek[/tag]. This summer mission project empowers college students to live and minister among the [tag]urban poor[/tag] in some of the world’s poorest cities. We are training young students to understand and gain vision for God’s heart for the poorest of the poor. Through the project, we will call students to give their lives to the poor either in direct-ministry or in an advocacy role.
I enjoy the “break” from my regular campus rhythm, dreaming and planning with other staff who have a heart to develop world-changers. I have been a part of this team (on and off) for the past 7 summers, and appreciate being inspired and have my heart softened toward the purposes of God. Such teams and times give me a bigger picture of my campus ministry. And as one who loves the cross-cultural experience, being in Mexico City is water to my soul.
