Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: DEDICATION DAY ALREADY???

Today we dedicated Filiberto and Carmen's house to the Lord. It's important to dedicate it to the Lord, otherwise, we can get judgemental about what happens if they move and sell it. It's thier house to do as they wish. We give it in the name of Jesus. I guess I say that because sometimes after we build a house the people use the only asset they own to get ahead in life and sometimes sell it.
The Carpenters Crew did a great job of building the house the last few days. We could have dedicated it yesterday, but we also had a medical outreach as well going on. 58 patients were seen, health kits given out and 20 professions of faith in Christ were voiced. A great day indeed followed by a fish fry back at New Life.
We lost a few workers yesterday, as they headed back to Iowa to attend the funeral of Charles Kramer who passed away on Tuesday. Charles and his wife Marge have been coming to build a house in Mexico every year for the last few years. He lost the battle to cancer but won the good fight of faith. Charles was here a few weeks ago to build another house and was feeling that he needed to go back to Iowa because his time on this side of heaven was short and didn't want to burden the family in case he passed away while in Texas. We will miss him, and his last legacy will be continuing to fund our work in Mexico even after his passing. Thank you Charles and Marge for making the world a better place.

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.
