Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: February 2024

Time sure flies by. January has come and gone sooo fast. Our monthly food outreach January 6th on Kings Day brought over 100 families to worship, hear Jaimes message, and receive some much needed food. We held another on Feb 3rd and just as many came then.

Power ministry came a few weeks ago and built 2 walls on the open ends of the Community Center porch during one warm day followed by the coldest Temps of the season. It was in the 30s with wind chills in the 20s. The Net Menders is coming Wednesday to paint what Power built.

Paula's sewing class is cranking out the quilts, so many thanks to those who purchase them and keep the girls working. Paula has some major knee pain and we're waiting for her appointment for an MRI. She has seen an orthopedic doctor in McAllen.

We have bought 200 blankets over the past month and plan to take some to the mountains of Chihuahua next month while some have been given out at the dump in Reynosa already.

Paula and I are heading to Chicago this week for Leas 8th birthday party and then spend a few weeks there. We look forward to seeing everyone, but not looking forward to the cold temps. 😕

We are saddened by the loss of our cat Taku. He was 17 years old and lived in the colonia his entire life. He will be missed!

We celebrated Melissas birthday last week.

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.
