Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: IT'S ALWAYS A GREAT TIME IN THE MIDWEST

Being back in Texas and spending the last few days in Mexico has us getting use to the 100 degrees Temps. It was such a great trip back north, it was really hard to leave that smiling Granddaughter Lea. What a joyful baby.
After renting a uhaul trailer to haul the 80 windows donated by Lamoine Christian Camp in Tennessee, Illinois we loaded up and headed for home. It was great to see Roy and Carla Day at the camp. Roy's busy building the foundations for the new dorms. A stop at Lamberts in Ozark, MO with the Lands, some friends from Palos Heights.
Lots of rain heading through Texas made for a 15 hour drive to get home.
We stopped by Melody Orphanage late today after Paula's sewing class. Much work has been done since we saw it. The ceramic tile I ordered was delivered to our house yesterday, now I'll have to haul it across the border and Jaime has a guy to install it.
Thanks everyone for your help with the Orphanage and our involvement in getting some of the kids in Mexico a great place to grow up in. I think we raised enough $ to get it done. I got some ideas for the kitchen from Gators Orphanage today. Blessings to all and Thanks again for the support.

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.
