Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: THE TEAM FROM IOWA CAME TO WORK

Monday morning, Tyson, Amber,Kathy, Leah, Darell, Mark, Brendon, Austin, Preston and Wendel joined us for the next few days to build a house for Rachael and her daughter Adriana. By days end, the house was done!!! The only thing left to do Tuesday was to build the porch, wire the electrical, decorate and dedicate it. The family made us chicken for lunch, and the made even more for the dedication.
We were so excited to be able to finish and dedicate the house on Tuesday because Kathy and Leah had to leave Wednesday morning. It was a tearful ando joyous dedication as we sang songs, prayed and had the opportunity to Praise God for His allowing us to serve him in this manner. As Amber handed the keys to Rachael,
We were all rejoicing. 10 hours of actual building time and Rachael and her daughter Adriana have a new home. Today the two girls flew home and we went back to Mexico and poured the foundation for a Christian women named Santa, which means Holy. Hulls Grove Baptist Church will be Blessing Santa with the house in a few weeks when they come to represent our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the colonia. So we poured the concrete and then headed to Pastor Victor's church and fixed the leaking roof, that I've been meaning to fix.
Tomorrow we head over to Melody Orphanage in Reynosa and the team is going to lay down some tile upstairs in the Orphanage. We'll finish a little early and hang some cabinets for Paula in our house in Mexico. Whew, I'm tired just typing all that these guys have done. Gracias my new friends from Iowa.

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.
