Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: NOW UNTO HIM WHO IS ABLE

After a great clothes and food outreach Saturday we spent Easter at church and then lunch with some folks we met at church and then Dennis joined us in Mexico on Monday along with John from Houston to build a house for Soria and her family. We got a very late start and still managed to get the first three walls up. It was close to a hundred degrees, and we consumed about 8 gallons of water. Today we finished everything except the roof and left early to meet Jeff from our church who knew a marble contractor with about 25 sinks he cant sell because of chips and flaws. He thought he might sell them cheap but after showing him pictures of what we do, he said we could have them all for free. Praise God! His name is Gilberto and he is a brand new christian, so please pray for him. Divine appointments are always part of Gods plan. We had a very large group that came here last year cancel thier plans to come and build a few houses this June. The media is really hurting missions in Mx. We still have yet to see anything that would cause us to stay out. We continue going everyday and trusting God to protect us. I'd rather be on the border in Mexico in Gods will than sitting on my couch out of it!!! If God calls you to go on a missions trip than GO. Gods call is irrevocable. Fear is sweeping the land and the days are short.

HIS STORY IN OUR LIVES

We moved to the TX/MX border in the Fall of '07 from Chicago, IL. We had been coming to Reynosa on short-term missions trips for over 10 years. Each time we left a little bit more of our hearts behind. Thru the circumstances of life Paula and I both agreed that now is the time to do that which gave us meaning and purpose in life. So we sold our home and came to the Rio Grand Valley at the southern most point of Texas. We have since joined with Mexico Missions Inc. to assist them with their childrens backpack programs in Mexico. Our mission is to reach the poorest of the poor in Mexico. We build homes, offer food and clothing to those in need, but most importantly we share the love and hope that is found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Living radical lives has expanded our vision and ministry from feeding hundreds of families to thousands.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP US REACH OUT TO THOSE IN NEED

Our ministry is totally supported by people like you.Since we did not raise our needed support before entering the mission field we continue to walk by faith that God will speak to the hearts of those of you reading our blog and joining us on short term trips to Mexico to help us help our brothers and sisters in Reynosa. If you would like to contribute to us personally, sponsor a child to attend school, give to the building of a home for a needy family, or even have us facilitate a food outreach, contact us via E-mail or send checks made out to MEXICO MISSIONS INC. and mail to our new address, P.O. Box 68 San Juan, Tx. 78589. If you would like to support us personally, put B&P in the memo column. If you would like to sponsor a specific outreach, list that as well in the memo column. All gifts are tax deductable. Child school sponsorship $400.00 per year per child, a newly designed home can be built with some help from the people in Mx. for a gift of $3800.00 or any portion thereof until enough money is raised to build one. Many houses could just use new roofing and some other fixes to make them more habitable. God Bless You as you give.
