Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: WE'RE BACK AND READY FOR CHRISTMAS

We arrived back in Texas on Wednesday night and were amazed to find out that the entire truck load of toys had been unloaded and everything was already in Mexico. Wow!!! We came home thinking we would have to spend several days getting over 3000 shoe box gifts and backpacks across. Once again, God provided the perfect people, trailers and vans to get it all across.

Our outreaches are scheduled for December 28th, 29th and 30th. Ricky Carroll will bring his team from Alabama on the 27th. Handful of Purpose collected all the gift boxes and backpacks.

Normally this season, Phil, Marianne and us would head to Puebla Mexico to give out backpacks, toys, and many other things. This year however, we donated the funds to buy the 2000 gifts and put the outreach into the hands of some faithful servants, and we can all stay home for Christmas.

Tomorrow we'll have our Christmas party in the Community Center in Reynosa. All the people that help with the ministry will be there, as well as Paula's sewing class. The 21st is our Sunday School Class party and once again, the class is buying gifts for the children at 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.
