Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: 110 DEGREES IN THE SHADE !!!!!!!

We had hoped the hottest days were behind us, wrongo. It was 120 degrees in the sun at the site of Antonio's and Yolanda's new house in Flores De Mayo. Raul and I checked on the delivery of blocks, gravel, cement and arena(sand) for the foundation at Trinidad's and Amelia's house. They are such a friendly couple and so happy to be getting a house. Alejandro is helping him build the foundation and at least they have plenty of shade on thier lot. Alejandro is the worship leader at Aqua Viva. We built him a house a few years ago in another colonia and has since moved to this part of Reynosa, and needed some work. We worked at Antonio's house for about two hours in the sun, no shade on the whole lot. I mixed cement and placed blocks where Jose needed them, I was soaked with sweat down to my socks! Luckily Paula called with lunch and we went back to our house in the colonia and ate and rested in the shade. We have 3 houses being built at the same time and I am running around like crazy making sure everything is going well and thank God he has given us some great brothers to help us. Eliazar put new brake lines on my truck and that saved me a lot of money.The water truck came today and everyone was glad to get fresh water. the kids got to swim in thier little wash tubs to cool off now that the barrels are full. Paula sent an E-mail out to a lot of you to invite you to Moraine on the 30th of Sept at 7:00 pm so if you didn't get the E-mail, consider this your invite and come and join us. We are looking forward to coming and seeing ya'll. We need a count so E-mail us if your coming.God Bless and ADIOS

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.
