Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: A WHIRLWIND MONTH

Since arriving back from our missions trip to Chihuahua, the paperwork for the orphanage is in the process. We paid for the building, and gave the lawyer half of his fee to do the paperwork. Jaime, Rosalba and the kids started moving everything as soon as they signed the papers.

The monthly food outreach was another great day. We gave each child gifts for The Day of the Child, the women got a gift bag for Mother's Day, and the men also got an early gift for Father's Day. Jaime brought Birthday 🎂 to celebrate my birthday on May 10th, which is also Mothers Day in Mexico 🇲🇽.

The birthday celebrations continued all week with another on Wednesday, Friday, and another on Sunday at the orphanage. During the week, a load of beans arrived, and the guys at Semco had most of it unloaded by the time I got there. Several ministries continue to come for beans and rice.

Paula and I had to fly to Illinois for her neices funeral. Only 4 days there, we had to return for a scheduled surgery on our cat Shadow. He's fine! This week we drive into Mexico 14 hours to visit Paula's family. Her sister turns 90 and there's a party planned, so we'll be there for that.

Please be praying for her niece's family, her family in Mexico and us, as we consider our future as we look to spend more time with family.

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.
