Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: September 2021

NO, NO, NO!!! Can't you see, I'm doing a new thing. I sooo love the way God directs our lives to fulfill His purposes. When Paula and I flew back home a few weeks ago, for a eye injection 💉 appt and a few other things we needed to take care of before returning to Illinois this Wed.

We've been seeking God's guidance for the future of the ministry. Since we're not building houses anymore our focus has been helping Melodys Orphanage and continuing with our food outreaches. Great news from Melodys Orphanage. An existing children's home in the country is looking for someone to take it over. They called Jaime on a recommendation from another Orphanage. Jaime and Rosalba met with the people from Angel's of God Orphanage in Matamoros Mexico. What a wonderful facility. We have been there twice so far and are really excited about moving forward with the transition. 30 acres of land, on site school and staff, several buildings and dorms. 80 sheep, a deep water well and filtration system.

So our new marching orders from the Lord seem to be to re engage the body of believers we know to help us support this Orphanage. It's going to take over 10 thousand dollars a month to sustain it. Covid-19 has crushed all the missions work in Mexico and Orphanages have been abandoned since Covid-19 from work teams and financial support.

We have a meeting at the orphanage today with the current director, Jaime, and Rocky who has been helping this Orphanage for years through work teams and support. Please be praying about how much your willing to give monthly to support the orphanage. Don't pray "if" you should, but "how" you should.

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.
