This this we participated in our annual journey with pastor Pedro to better understand this beautiful place that is now called the Arizona, United States, Sonora and Mexico and its history colonization of indigenous people like the Tohono O’odham, Yaqui and Apache peoples. It can be hard to understand the origins of some much of the pain we see in the world but Pastor Pedro is a great teacher of unraveling the layers of colonization that have shaped the places we call home here on the borderlands. Gracias Pastor Pedro por siempre enseñarnos tu conocimiento y esperanza por este región y frontera. Seguimos obrando y orando por una frontera que más se refleja el Reino de Dios.
