The men of the men's group decided to walk together in a suburb of Tecate. It is a newly developed area with more expensive houses. The roads are well maintained, so it was a good place to walk together. We walked for almost two and a half miles in an hour. Pretty slow but it gave us a chance to talk amongst each other. What do men talk about? Cars and houses. Carlos and I were out of our element when it came to these conversations. I have never bought a home or bought a new car. But this is the formation of friendship with men. You start with what you know. You begin with everyday conversations; as that builds, we can share more meaningful discussions. Over burritos, we all agreed to have at least a Psalm ready to share with the intent to memorize it. What a blessing to hear different Psalms and why they chose it. We are all at various places in our faith, yet we all need the encouragement of scripture to continue to walk out our faith. I believe this is the foundation for this local congregation to grow into a strong body of believers. The Lord is growing his body.
