Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: A MINI SABBATICAL IS WHAT IT IS

With the occasional violence in Reynosa, some supporters decided to rent a house in Bulverde, just North of San Antonio, and treat us to a few days away. What an extravagant house! We joined Mark and Kathy Grennell, Hans and Debbie, Ricky Torres, Jaime and his family , and Sergio. We enjoyed the 4 days of fun, fellowship and food. Oh and a few rounds of golf.
We returned home yesterday afternoon, so Paula could host her sewing class and our weekly bible study, through the book of Romans. We had 13 people there today, it was great. Me and the boys continue working on our house in the colonia. Insulation and siding inside really makes a huge difference inside.
Tomorrow we will take more siding across and lots of food for Saturday's outreach. We will celebrate the Day of the Child, Mothers Day, and give out food, school supplies, gifts for the Moms and kids.
We will be heading to Illinois sometime next week, to help Kristin and Larry pack for their upcoming move into their new house in Frankfort, Il. Lea time, YEA!
The guys will be building a house or two while we're gone. We have been evaluating when we will feel comfortable hosting teams in Mexico. We have had no issues lately and that's an answer to prayers. Thanks for continued prayers and support. We look forward to seeing some of you in Illinois next month.

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.
