Experiencing Life at the Margins

The idea that surprised me was the one that talked about the american churches being involved in missions overseas.
This surprised because it's amazing that christians with a lot of power in the chuch won't go to see what's happening in other parts of the world, and I think thats not right because if they are saying that they love missions that we should support them, then he should also go and see what's happening.

An idea that I think will aply to us is the one about being in the center.
We are to mancora, a small town but just because it's small or not as touristic as other places doesn't mean great stuff can't happen in there, in fact as it says on the round trip material JESUS was not crucified in the center he was crucified outside Jerusalem, so even if Mancora is not the center great things can happen and great people can come from there.

An idea that i think won't apply is the racism.
I think that racism won't be a problem because Peru is also a latinoamerican country like Panama, so there's not much difference in the people, however it is a different culture with differnet traditions but i don't think that there will be problems with racism.
