Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: TRULY THANKFUL FOR ALL GOD DOES

This week gave us the opportunity to be so thankful to God for giving us praying friends and family . I was experiencing some chest pain, different from other times. I was heading to Mexico when the Holy Spirit prompted me to turn around and go home and have Paula take me to her cardiologist . They couldn't get me in and told us to go to the hospital . 11 hours of uncertainty and a series of testing gave us the news that there was absolutely nothing wrong!!!! All the tests were negative . So the question is? Was I in the midst of a heart attack and God heard and answered all the prayers, or did God protect me from something? Either way, we're giving thanks to God for His Goodness.
Back to Mexico first thing Tuesday building shelves for the Melody Orphanage bunkbeds, and an island cabinet for the kitchen. The Johnsons drove down from Oklahoma Tuesday night and spent the day helping in Mexico . They were here a couple months ago and wanted to bring the family back again.
We finished the shelves and delivered them to the Orphanage at the same time the bunkbeds were delivered . We're getting so close to the opportunity to serve some children .
The Johnsons went to Progresso this morning and we all went to the Mathews house for Thanksgiving dinner . Tomorrow, back to Mexico to buy mattresses for the bunkbeds and check on a couple foundations getting built for the teams coming in January .
WE TRUST YOU FOUND SOMETHING TO GIVE THANKS FOR TODAY, I KNOW WE DID, AND WE'RE THANKFUL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND 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.
