I feel sadness leaving my new friends.

This is a great group. Each desires to serve Jesus somewhere around the world. It takes a special person to go to college in Tijuana. So many young people I think would choose the country club atmosphere of US institutions. But not these students. Something drew them to connect with the poor, the lonely, the broken.

Today some students will visit an orphanage, others will build friendships in the red light district so they might share the story of the Gospel.

In the stories of the class of 2010 there is a depth of life, a hunger to know Jesus and his will.

I feel such joy and pride for them. This is the most important work they will ever do. Serving in a culture void of luxury and materialism the voices of excess are silent. The harsh truth of daily struggle for the people propels one deeper.

There is a symbiosis here of brokenness and truth. I see this in Jesus. Born in a third world contaminated corral void of royal luxury the King of kings emerged. The Father touches us with humility and transparency.

This same great truth comes to light in Tijuana, Mexico. Jesus touches students with truth minus red carpet amenities.

Thanks for your prayers, your support in this journey. God is so good, all the time.
