OXCHUC. A CHURCH YOU SHOULD KNOW

Sunday we went to Pablo’s new mission church in OxChuc.  Very interesting story for these persecuted folks, who have declined to join the political  violence in rowdy OxChuc, and have been run off their land, and forced to settle at the edge of town in a conclave in the scruff at the edge of the montes.  They have a tiny plot of land, a broken down wood kitchen, and a concrete church building with a dirt floor and no roof.  They are wonderful folks, made wonderful fritattas on banana leaves on the open fire and a creamy chili 🌶 sauce to go with it for lunch after church.  They are very happy to have Pablo, who preached.  He was installed there this week.  The men are banned from working in the fields.  They have it tough.  If anyone wants to contribute towards a water tank, building a better kitchen, kitchen utensils, let me know.  Jan and I are trying to help as they join the fold.
