Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN

We left Chicago after our annual pizza party at Moraine Valley Church on August 30th. About 100 people came to hear about our work in Mexico and Melodys Orphanage. We never ask for donations, but one couple put forth a matching challenge to build a house, and when God finished speaking to the hearts of the people attending, donations of enough money to build one house, plus the dollar per dollar match, TWO HOUSES!!!.
At the time we were there, Melodys Orphanage didn't have any children, but that all changed today. Jaime brought Jesus, a 10 year old boy that came to live at the orphanage. More kids are expected in the near future as God answers all the prayers and petitions. YEAH!!!!
Today we jumped back into building dreams for families in Mexico. Tyson, Amber, and Chuck arrived last night from Iowa. We went to our Sunday school class at Calvary Baptist Church and headed to Mexico. Sergio and Andres had one wall built and by days end we had the other 3 up.
We already miss Lea, Kris, Larry, Gianna, and Gabby, as well as everyone else, but the calling of God are irrevocable. Thanks to all that came and gave of their resources at the pizza party, we are indeed grateful to God for the privilege of serving Him.

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.
