The Mexico City you probably didn't know about

"From the moment you disembark your plane at Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport, your body must begin adjusting to the new atmosphere. It is thin, as the city sits in an enormous valley at an elevation of 7,300 feet, and also famously polluted. More striking is the smell. The air here tastes like charred corn. The history of the country's conquest bears down upon the Valley of Mexico with the fury of the rain clouds that drown away the smog nearly every summer afternoon."

Today I caught a journalists, DANIEL HERNANDEZ take on Mexico City. He said in LA Weekly, "All I can do is take stock of the scene around me -- a roomful of beautiful and handsome 20- and 30-something Mexican creative types, all of them stylishly dressed, all of them smoking, all clearly coming from money. Fauxhawks, it seems, are big here. Impressive contemporary art hangs on the walls, and expensive furniture is placed sparsely across the hardwood floors. I feel as if I'm 10 stories up somewhere on Wilshire Boulevard -- in 1975."

Read the whole thing at Down and Delirious in Mexico City and have your eyes opened. We prayed this morning that God would reach the whole city. Not just the down trodden and poor but each and every person. They need a movement of the Spirit just as well.
