Mexico Blog

01 July 2012 10:00PM

Today Mexico voted and whilst I accompanied one of my friends to the polling station I wondered why God gave me a heart for this country and its people. It’s a world away from the little Yorkshire village where I was born.

So, I’m looking forward to a tasty Yorkshire pud and onion gravy next weekend meanwhile,  I still have a few days here before I return to the UK.

I visited a Mexican church today and whilst I love to be with Spanish speaking people, actually this was an English meeting attended by only a handful of Brits but plenty of Americans and, English speaking Mexicans. Why these Mexicans want to sing their praises in English confounds me, but what a fabulous mix of music from a solo flutist, a modern worship team and a traditional choir. Then, followed by an inspirational speaker whose heart for others was evident in the work that he had pioneered, rescuing young children from sex trafficking gangs in Mexico City, I wanted to cry and wondered what God makes of man’s behaviour.  In actual fact, sex trafficking of children has now been declared as the second most profitable crime in the world, the first being drugs of course.

The message today couldn’t  have been clearer and was intended to motivate people to do something, anything, to make a difference in the lives of the suffering in this world.

The speaker was the second person in three days to say that he believed one of the greatest sins in the world today was apathy and indifference. I couldn’t agree more, and I am disturbed by the number of people generally who have the attitude that as long as they are ok, that’s ok!

 I’m back on the streets tomorrow and visiting some institutions who work with young pregnant girls. Meanwhile here’s a picture of a sight I was shown where a small group of kids have been living for several months.  Aged between 12 – 14 years they live behind this billboard and when I talked to them this week all I could ask was why?

I’ll tell you more about them next time I blog.

Chat soon
