Witness to Faith

Mexico Reflection……….by Kevin Gorney
(Juarez 2006)

    

Where Did I see God?             

  •  It was in the hearts of every teen, and their willingness to give all they had to God’s people.  

  • It was in the YouthWorks! Staff that I will never forget and hopefully continue to talk to … a group of people I can call true friends and true inspirations.

  •  It was in my small group, and their actions on worksite and their interactions with every one
    … true works of God

  • It was in the voices of our group during Club…

  • It was in the chance I had to work side by side with Antonio.

  • It was in the Jesus Cross, that Deacon Dad created back in 1999 and gave them as a gift, which still hangs in their church as their centerpiece.

  • It was in my new found friendships amongst the group that I will continue to treasure and never lose.

  • It was in seeing all of our skills and traits being put to perfect use.

  • It was in how I still had to shower using empty water jugs because the boy’s showers just lost pressure right before I stepped in to cleanse myself.

  • It was in my daily talks/reflections about daily thoughts and events I had with other leaders.

  • It was in the sandstorm and its timing with our events … and it was in the rain that followed, and continued to cleanse our hearts.

  • It was in Padre and the heart of the community

  • It was in the endless humor. · It was in the heat.

Do I dare continue?  I do!

  • It was the bonding we all had. · It was in being able to capture you on film.

  • It was in hearing you speak, or attempt to speak Spanish.

  • It was seeing some of the teens and how they have grown since I was still in the group.

  • It was on the Hill.

  • It was in the Orphanage…

Let’s face it…God’s Grace was over abundant.
So I saw God… Did you?
