Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW

Our 10 day, 2100 mile trip to the mountains of Chihuahua was a trip that the kids from Melodys Orphanage will never forget. We hope it was life changing 🙏 for them. The first day was a 16 hour drive to San Jacinto, Chihuahua where Jaime and Rosalba were missionaries many years ago. They knew many from there and so this is where we called home for the next 8 days.

19 people stayed on cots in Pastor Ezekiels church, while Sergio and I got beds around the corner at some friends house. No heat, but lots if blankets kept us warm at night. Snow fell the first night and the kids from Melodys Orphanage had never seen snow before.

Sara Vargas flew in from North Carolina to hold kids programs every day. She is such a blessing to everyone. We went to a YWAM camp in Creel where all the beans,rice and gift boxes, blankets,and health kits were. We organized them all for each days outreaches.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday we traveled to remote villages to preach the Gospel and bless the adults and children will various gifts. Each day left a little time to sight see. Copper Canyon is Mexicos Grand Canyon and the views are awesome.

Several stops along the road where we saw kids, allowed us the opportunity to give out more shoe box gifts and bless the parents with food. Easter Sunday started with devotions of 3 Psalms and 3 chapters from Joshua. We then went back to Copper Canyon to get one last look from inside the park and buy some souvenirs.

Monday we got a late start, dropped Sara off at the airport 3 hours away and then drove another 10 hours and spent the night at Big Heart Orphanage in the mountains near Saltillo. A great week ☺️ 🙌 😊 and a great time with the kids from Melodys Orphanage.

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.
