SAN ANTONIO - To better understand why the migrant caravan wants to reach the United States, the Rev. Gavin Rogers, associate pastor of Travis Park United Methodist Church, traveled to Mexico City last Friday as they were preparing to continue their journey.
Everybody around me, they dont call it a caravan. They call it an exodus, which is kind of a Biblical term if you think about it, Rogers said.
Rogers said he wanted to hear their stories of rampant violence, corruption and poverty that are often untold and misunderstood.
He asked, What would you do?
Wanting a better life has a different meaning for the people in the caravan than it does in the United States.
Really that means they just want to live. They want a life. They want to feed their family. They want to provide them shelter and education," Rogers said.
He said the group of 300 that he joined at one point broke away from the caravan to go their own way. As of Monday morning, they had reached Guadalajara after catching a ride on top of a large flatbed truck hauling huge steel beams.
People started crawling, standing on top of the beams, under the beams, the cracks and crevices, Rogers said.
He said it was just one of six modes of transportation that they took, even riding in the back of dump trucks.
He learned that many of the migrants are Christian evangelicals who were converted by American missionaries.
We evangelize and we love thy neighbor as thyself. These are the same folks, Rogers said.

He said hes even seen postings on his Facebook page by other Christians spreading fear of immigrants.
Rogers said he hopes by documenting his journey on Facebook, he can help change minds and hearts.
What an idiot
Gavin Rogers
Lock him up!
John and Charles Wesley would DISAVOW this POS, if they were alive today!
Got a hunch this won’t end well.
Listen up, CARAVAN! You aren't the ISRAELITES; this isn't an EXODUS; America isn't the PROMISED LAND...and ROGERS is no MOSES.

Living and not dying doesn’t require an education...what hes talking about is acquiring much more that just surviving a dangerous situation..
Hes already proven he doesn’t really want to know the truth..hes bias and closed minded...
Wait till one of those sweet unfortunates rob him at knife point...or push him off the beast...
No, he’s a Methodist. But we repeat ourselves. Another lost Christian church of homosexuals, nutty liberal ministers,
illegal alien panderers and pacifist anti-gun lunatics.
Theres a madness to his Methodist.
Cat-litter-for-brains bleeding heart libtard.
“They call it an exodus, which is kind of a Biblical term if you think about it, Rogers said.
“kind of” Biblical = antichrist
It would be hilarious if one of the "refugees" killed him for his watch.
He’s a bleeding heart Jeb! clone.
They need to rape him first.
Must be fake news.
Figures and WHY is he wearing a Chicago Bears cap, if he’s from Texas?
He can just stay in Mexico then.
The people he so thinks he loves are saving a bullet for him.
