Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: ALMOST FREE GAS $1.90 PER GALLON

After all those months of $75.00 fill ups, it sure was nice to spend only $35.00 to fill er up. A conservation mind-set has been a good thing and limits the running around burning gas and we've saved 5% as a nation in consumption so thats all good. Gas is cheaper here now than in Mx. Beto and Lucy are so excited about getting a house. Beto and Carmello started digging the footing yesterday as Raul and Me helped Pastor Victor start the footing on the ten foot addition we are building on his house for his other son, daughter in law, and grand daughter that are moving up here from Vera Cruz next week. I suppose after Eliels death that the family needs to be together to help each other heal. We were going to use a bunch of old wood that Victor has but I told him I would just buy new wood. Probably 600.00 will build the whole addition rather than messing with wood loaded with termites. His wife Erica made us some fantastic stuffed Jalepeno peppers after we finished working and Paula brought cookies she made.

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.
