Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: BLESSING WITH BLANKETS

A church group from Edmond, Ok was here last June and God spoke to thier hearts to send blankets for the people in Reynosa. We recieved a huge box filled with nice warm blankets and a few comforters. As the forcast for tonight showed temps in the 30's Raul and I took them over and handed them out to several different families today. The wind was blowing out of the north and it was cold today. Paula and I are not going to turn our heat on so we'll throw a few extra blankets on our bed tonight. We also bought some rice, oil, beans and eggs for a family that never seems to have food. We also put the finishing touches on Beto and Lucy's house, apart from that, we just had coffee and cookies before we headed home to attend a missions team meeting at church that is going on a medical missions trip next weekend that Raul will go on. We had some extra shoe boxes for kids so they will take a hundred with them to Saltillo, Mx. Another missionary friend in Cancun, Mx. just E-Mailed me that he just recieved 9000 boxes from Samaritians Purse so pray for all the kids that will be getting boxes this year.

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.
