LOUISVILLE â On a cool Arizona Sunday afternoon, mission co-workers Miriam Maldonado Escobar and the Rev. Mark Adams gathered with group of Christians on the border between Agua Prieta, Mexico, and Douglas, Arizona, for a prayer pilgrimage in solidarity with the âNot Another Footâ movement to call for an end of the massive border wall spanning the entire Southern border of the United States.
âWe come here today with groups all along the border who are calling out ânot another foot,â a call to halt the continued destruction of Godâs Creation,â said Adams. âAt this border between two nations we come together as a common humanity to join our voices and to commit ourselves to working for the day when walls will not divide us and where borders will be places of encounter and not division.â
