Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: ANOTHER YEAR GONE BY

A few days after Christmas, Ricky Carroll brought a group from Alabama and Bob Smoot brought a group from Oklahoma to hand out the shoe boxes, stuffed animals, bibles, clothes, backpacks and the Love of Jesus. The first event was at Macarios church where 300 kids came.

The following day we invited everyone in Nopalera to join us at the Community Center at 10 am. The place was packed!! Jaime Mayorga came to lead us in worshiping the Lord. Saul came with his organ, and I picked up the guitar for the first time in a while. An anointing fell as we sang and Jaime and I preached. Many came forward for prayer and one 21 year old girl surrendered her life to Christ.

After the service had ended, everyone came through the Community Center for their gifts. Men, women and children all got gifts. We then loaded up more gifts and headed to Another colonia, where hundreds more people were waiting for us to arrive. Another opportunity to share the gospel with the boys in one line and girls in another. A great day indeed!!!!

Paula and I couldn't make it to midnight on New Years Eve. We went to the Clubhouse in our park, for a bite to eat and meet some people from the park. 10 o'clock we were in bed.

Thanks to everybody that prays for us and the ministry, and those that support us financially. We are really thankful for each of you. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

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.
