Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: GARBAGE DUMP OUTREACH/ HOUSE DEDICATION

Saturday we joined Shawn and Carla Estes, the Carpenter's Crew and several others at the garbage dump in Reynosa and blessed 75 families with food, backpacks, tarps, jackets and blankets. Jaime came and shared the Good news of the Gospel, and 48 bibles were given out. Jaime and I left the people in worshipping in song.
Monday, the Power Ministry guys came back to finish Marianna s house. Guys started building the porch, wiring the house, painting, putting in the loft window and finally putting the roof on the porch. Unfortunately the wiring wasn't done by the time they had to leave. We had a few minutes of prayer with the family before they left at 12:30.
We finished the wiring and Paula, China, Yolanda and her daughter Alma decorated the house to make it all pretty. Jaime shared a message and Marianna two brothers, Jesus and Juan accepted Christ as Saviour. Tears filled our eyes as they surrendered their lives to Christ. Marianna and her kids entered into their new house, and the kids were overwhelmed with screams of joy.
What a great time building with Power Ministry and helping them get siding and roofing materials for the other projects they had in Reynosa.

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.
