Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: JOSE AND JOSEFINA FINALLY HOME

Thursday the Carpenters Crew Mature group put the finishing touches on the house that they built for a very special couple. Jose and Josefina have been waiting patiently for several months as they watched us build houses for their children. We'll Thursday it was their turn to rejoice, and rejoice they did. They were both very emotional as they thanked the team for coming to be Jesus with skin on. The Garcia Family came to lead us in song, and a little dancing as well. Carmelo gave his testimony and as is always the case, the Holy Spirit moved in the hearts of three of the neighbors and they accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. What a great week we all had with a very hard working crew. Most of them left today, but a few came across the border with us to attend the monthly food outreach this morning. Another 150 families were in attendance and before Pastor JaimeS message, we gave out 20 bibles to hungry souls. The next Carpenters Crew starts building on Monday and we look forward to seeing God move in the colonia.

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.
