Paco had the blessing of attending
the yearly Calvary Chapel Pastors´ Conferences in Mexico City along with four
other leaders from our congregation. The
3-day event of worship, teaching, and fellowship is anticipated by Paco all
year long. It was at just such a
conference years ago that Paco first felt his calling from the Lord to become a
pastor, and therefore is a special event.
However, the trip was more of an
adventure than Paco or the group
had anticipated! They experienced the thrills and chills of
Mexico City for themselves. On the
underground metro, they were shoved along with crazy crowds, Paco´s backpack
got stuck in the metro door, they missed their stop, and the metro broke down
mid-route and they were left sitting in a dark tunnel for the repairs.
Praise God for His care for them in the big city, and His Word spoken to their lives at the conferences!
Then, at night, they followed
i
nstructions to the cheap hotels, which, to their utter shock, were surrounded
by transvestites and prostitutes. They
walked from hotel to hotel and did not find any vacancies! There they were in the middle of sketchy
downtown Mexico City at midnight with no hotel!
(Just like out of a movie!) But,
by the Lord´s grace, they eventually found a hotel, which, though more pricey
than their budget, was much safer than earlier options.
