Having Faces: Being Neighbor

I came to Guatemala with a Graduate Preaching Fellowship in 2004 to learn to be neighbor. I was ordained at the St. Paul Area Synod Assembly in June 2007 as a pastor of the Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala and commissioned for service by two Synods of the ELCA and the Global Mission Unit of the ELCA. I serve in Guatemala with the ILAG as a missionary and a pastor.

Hope even for a Prostitute

One of the striking images for me in San Salvador was that of a prostitute dressed in blue... the color of hope... standing outside the National Lutheran Church in El Salvador soliciting people after the service. The service was to celebrate the 7th anniversary of Hope House... so when no one accepted her offers she followed us to the serving line and was among the first of 200 to eat that day. She was an image of hope for me.

Hope in the form of a prostitute dressed in blue. How appropriate. Christ associated with the lowest of the low and loved them. May we all have eyes to see hope in the seemingly hopeless situations we encounter here and abroad -- eyes like yours. cef
