Experiencing Life at the Margins

Wow! that's one great article! It caught me by surprise the first section. America is at the center, yet the process of missions resides in the peripheral areas, the margins. In a way it makes sense, just like the example they gave in the Article with Jesus and Nathaniel. Jesus was from Nazareth, and in their time it was kind of like Curundú. No one woud expect an important person, or even A Savior to be born there.

I think is important for us as a team to be like the pastor Mark (not our pastor mark) in page 88. He didn't ask what was better for him, he just asked "What should I say" and follow humbly just as he did with the Northern Ugandan people. I dont think our group has a problem with thinking we're At the Center. In a way, our group is has been influenced by the Center, and we get products from there, but we still know the great poverty faced in our cities. We also have with these groups and i think we have a pretty good picture of how to minister in other places similar to here. Still, we do not know it all, and that's why we're learning still from these people. Im exited to learn more from these people.
