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.

COMMITMENTS

agree with:
"WE WILL be honest about what we accomplish on the trip by not exaggerating or overspiritualizing the experience in our report back. A short-term missions trip is one of many experiences in life that shape us, and one trip is only part of a much longer narrative that will continue to be written after our experience."

theres no need to exaggerate Gods job because he is already awesome. its like adding more water to a glass thats already full. God takes care of every single detail so even if we dont think what we do for God anywhere isnt good enough or exciting enough to share with someone else, then there is something missing in our spiritual lives, it means we're not sure God can impact people by sharing "little" testimonies.

"WE WILL humble ourselves before God as His servants, and humble ourselves towards those we are serving as their servants, too."

i love to watch documentals where missionaries are wiling to leave everything behind and be like the people they're serving to.
trying to not leave room for the people we'll be serving to compare themselves with us like "oh they hav money and we dont" or "they're so lucky to have this and that", and replace it with something like "its awesome we can meet people like us who love Jesus" because actually we are all the same, is what been humble for others is about. God created each of us in a certain way for his glory regardless of what we "own". and evon thou Jesus is the son of God and he owns every single thing on earth, when he came to earth, he humbled himself.

i dont really desagree with any, they're all based on true experiences.
