Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: WHAT A GREAT WAY TO END A GREAT YEAR

Yesterday, we dedicated the house we built over the last week. Alberto, Yolanda and their kids Alma and Alex were all brought to tears as we prayed over them and handed them the keys to a Christmas present they could only dream about. A great message from Jaime, worship by The Garcia family and a few testimonials from the team. Our daughter donated most of the money to build it after the family that planned on coming, couldn't. She let go of what was in her hand, and God made up the difference. The money left her hand, but it will never leave her life.
As we get our hearts ready for Christmas, we have been blessed with the funds to buy hundreds of soccer balls, blankets, dolls, umbrellas and so much more to give out to the poor kids in Reynosa, Oaxaca, Chiapas and who knows where else they'll end up.
We joined Shawn and Carla Estes at the garbage dump Monday to bring food, shoes, toys and the message if hope to those that live and work in the dump.
We're trying to get our Christmas news letter on this site, so if you need to open it, then you can read it. We sent out 130 cards and letters to those that have made a donation toward our ministry this year, because we have your addresses on file,

and if we missed you, SORRY!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND THANKS FOR THE 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.
