Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: I SAID I WOULDN'T, BUT I DID

I had said that I wouldn't build any house without having a team here, but that's a promise I couldn't keep. Almost every day, families come to us looking for help, and we can't say no. We built one last week, helped a family that moved thier house rebuild thiers, and yesterday we poured 2 more foundations.
After we poured the foundations, we returned to the community center, where Paula's sewing class surprised her with a birthday party. They decorated, and planned everything without Paula's knowledge. It was a great time as all the girls shared thier hearts about what Paula means to them. We gathered around her and prayed for her.
Neal Dorsch went to be with Jesus this week after serving our Great God and Savior for decades. We're hoping to go to the memorial service Friday.
Sunset Presbyterian Church from Portland Oregon is coming Saturday to spend themselves in Mexico and build a house for a needy family. We're looking forward to a great week of ministry.A family that has supported us for years is coming, mid week. Another group is coming from Kentucky the week after, and then Paula and I are going on a missions trip down in central Mexico in April. We'll be joining the founders of Mexico Missions doing a medical and dental clinic, backpacks for the kids, evangelism, eye glasses, clowns, food outreach and so much more. If you would like to donate towards this outreach let us know. It costs thousands of dollars to buy all the backpacks, toys, food, tent rental. All donations will go towards these things, not our travel expenses. Thank you for your 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.
