Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: BETTER IS ONE DAY, THAN THOUSANDS ELSEWHERE!!

We arrived home Friday afternoon from our 10 day missions trip to Chiapas for Christmas. 5 great outreaches in 5 different cities. We spent Saturday running errands , doing laundry, opening a pile of mail, and then repacking for another trip to Big Heart Orphanage in the mountains near Saltillo. Mark Peterson brought a group from several different states to build Gator an office. So we spent Christmas in Chiapas ,and now wish you a Happy New Year to you from the Mexican State of Coahuila.
Thanks for the year end gifts to the ministry, we really appreciate it. We loved all the beautiful Christmas cards we got. We trust 2019 will be a great one as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord. Ministry looks different from past years, group cancellations amidst the ongoing violence along the border. We heard of several incidents that happened today in Reynosa. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Reynosa. See y'all next year, Lord willing.

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.
