Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: A GOOD START TO CELEBRATE CHRIST'S BIRTH

Getting to the place of giving away 10 % of our liquid assets to help those in need, is off to a great start. Paula and I drove to Saltillo Monday morning with 125 soccer balls, 104 blankets, 200 hot dogs , bibles and some dolls. We arrived at Big Heart Orphanage in the mountains near Saltillo , cooked the hot dogs and headed to the Paper City in Saltillo .
We were welcomed by a few children and before long, we had hundreds of people lined up. Paula shared the Gospel and prayed and the food was handed out , then they moved over to get a soccer ball, or a doll, and a blanket for each adult. We ran out of everything before we ran out of people. 52 bibles were given out as well.
The houses these precious people live in are some of the worst we've seen. We're going back after our Chiapas trip to meet the community leaders and pastors. Such great need there. Now that we've been there, we're responsible to do something .
Sunday we had our Sunday school class Christmas party at Scott and Joanna. We took Melodys Orphanage as our Christmas project. Everyone brought gifts for the kids in the orphanage as well as Jaime, Rosa and their kids.
Our kids arrive today Yeah!!!!

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.
