Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: IT'S ALL FOR THE KINGDOM

With Christ Central Churchs arrival Saturday morning, we transferred all their luggage and the 700 pairs of shoes they brought to give away this week. We crossed the border without any problems and settled into Big Heart Orphanage wher

e we will stay all week.
I talked a few of the guys into setting some trusses on Juan and Olgas roof . It was really hot, but we managed to get half of them set.
Yesterday morning Gator and I drove over to the U.S. to get Krispy Cream donuts for everyone. We took the kids from the orphanage to church, while the team sorted the shoes and set up for the baptisms. Andres and his wife and daughter wanted to get baptized as a family, and Paula and I had the privilege of baptizing them, and little Martin. All of them attend our bible study we hold twice a week, and have accepted Christ as Saviour and desired baptism.
Emily and Jonah baptized Sairi, whom Emily has mentored for years. Sairis uncle Emiliano came forward to accept Christ as Saviour and desired to get baptized as well. What a great day. We had chicken and cake for lunch, and closed the day with communion.

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.
