Experiencing life at the margins

I liked the "go n make" or "go.n.fix" people. at first, i was kind of confused because christians are supposed to "serve" rite? so how was i supposed to serve but not make...? and then, i read this "come, follow me, i will make you fishers of men" (i was still confused), so how did that fit?
serving is about following Gods statements, so in that way we can please him and by serving him we're serving and loving others. so that means if we "make" something (serve) to please someone else (even if we think it is good for the church, or ourselves, but its not what God tells us to do which is follow him) then we're just trying to be the center. (this made a lot of sense in my head XD)

i think we should know we're not the center, because even thou crossroads is a big church, we dont know everything, because we're not the ones who decide who leads who and there may be several things that might be revealed to small churches such as the mancora's for the glory of this kingdom.
we're not going there to make crossfire prototypes, we're going to peru to follow God by serving.
i dont think racism would apply on this trip. we live in a multi-cultural country, so im used to live arround different pleople, with different cultures and traditions. its nothing new for me hang with people with different cultures, denominations or colors. as i said before, we're all God's inspiration.

Hey - love your thoughts!!
Right on with the idea of service. God is the one who makes, we obey. It's amazing that God chooses to use us in His huge plan! Awesome!
