Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: TIME, TIME, WE HAVE NO TIME

Most people I've talked to, don't like the moving of time. Now it's dark in South Texas until long after 7am. I vote to leave it, and not fall back. The bible says that man will try to manipulate time I the last days.
We celebrated Paula's birthday Thursday and the girls in her sewing class had a surprise party for her. They are a special group of friends to Paula . Jaime and his family brought a cake, the girls brought a cake, and when we got home, Mary Lou brought yet another one. LET THERE BE CAKE!
We went and cut the studs and made the rafters for next week's build with Sunset Presbyterian Church. This family is are all time favorite place to eat in the colonia. No offence to the others, but they bring it , every time we're there.
Our fork truck was spewing oil everywhere , so Sergio came and we removed one of the hydraulic cylinders to get it rebuilt. A greasy mess for sure. Filled the giant batteries as well.
The 3 day revival that Jaime held in the colonia was a huge blessing to the colonia . We went last Saturday, but the place was packed on Sunday's service. We helped take the huge stage apart on Tuesday after cutting the wood. Hot temps made the frame and all its screws almost untouchable . We filled 3 buckets with the bolts holding it all together.
We'll hold our monthly food outreach at the Community Center tomorrow afternoon. The team will forgo church in the USA , and we'll do church in Mexico .
We need a baby fix! We haven't seen Lea since last November . They will be packing and moving in May, so I'm thinking we'll go and help. Help watch Lea, not moving lol.
Thanks for your support of the ministry. Ten years in and God remains faithful. Imagine that! Trust!

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.
