Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: FUN, FOOD, AND THE WORD OF GOD

In between groups, Project Fortify Ministries asked us to host a Vacation Bible School for the kids in the colonia. They had a team from Arkansas that had the desire to hold the 3 day event. The last two days brought over 100 kids each day to participate. It's been such a blessing. Today we close it out and we're trusting God to move in their tender hearts at the closing ceremony.
Naples Christian Church arrives Saturday and we'll be building our 20th house of the year. We will be staying at Big Heart Orphanage for 3 nights and at the Community Center the last two days. It's Naples first trip here and we look forward to working with them.
We will drive the team up to San Antonio next Saturday and continue on our annual trek up to Illinois. We're not really sure about our schedule yet, surprise, surprise!!! A few days is the Laharpe Illinois area visiting our friends and partners there. A pizza party at Morraine Valley Church on either the 20th or the 27th of July at 1pm. Stay tuned. We need to return home earlier than usual to host a group from Iowa over the Labor Day week.

The warehouse is full once again, thanks to Joe and Barb Warner and Rick Caywood Ministries for hauling the 46 thousand pounds of pinto beans from their farm in South Dakota. Travis Caywood made the long haul up to S.D. from Waco, Tx to S.D. and then down here. What a blessing they have been to us and the many ministries they serve.

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.
