Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: IT'S SO SUREAL

I'm really getting excited about being a Grandfather. Me a Grandpa! I'm going crazy trying to pack for ten days in Chicago, followed by 5 days on a Cruise ship. It's warm here, cold in Chgo, and most likely hot on the cruise. I HATE PACKING!!! Paula and Kelly took Kristin for her last ultrasound the other day and Lea is not ready to be smothered in Love, yet! We would all ask for prayer that Lea would be born while were all there. Kelly has to leave next week and Paula and I have to leave, so we really like God to make it happen sooner rather than later.
Carmelo and I spent Monday driving around sharing the gospel with a whole lot of people in the colonia. Funny thing, that one family said that they had never heard it explained the way Carmelo has a gift of doing. We visited Octavio, Zochille, and their son Octavio also, to check up on them after we met them last week and gave them a whole lot of things they needed. Octavio had clearly moved towards repentance and Faith in Christ. His countenance had changed since we met him and shared with him and then prayed with him. Praise the Lord.
We also helped a family with cement for their roof. They had about 2 thirds of the money, so we helped them out with the rest. The wood came for the two projects The Carpenters Crew will do the first week of March. Jovani and his brother in Law will get everything painted by the time the team arrives.
Over 5 years ago, Eliazar Jr. lost his leg in a car accident and we bought him a prosthetic leg, off of E-Bay. Well it's starting to wear out, so I need to find him a new one or some replacement parts for the existing one.
Tile was installed in the kitchen of the Community Center and there should be a finished kitchen when we return. The Netmenders .org is donating the kitchen to us. PTL!!!
Ok I really gotta go and finish up things around here.
WE LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS AND SUPPORT, THAT KEEPS US KEEPING ON. Those of you that attend Moraine Valley, we'll see you Sunday, hopefuly with news of a new born baby girl maned Lea.

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.
