Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: LONG JONS, IN MEXICO????

Now I know it's not as cold as back in Chicago, I watched the Bears last night, but I don't my long jons and turtleneck to go work in the colonia yesterday! It was about 40 degrees all day with a strong wind out of the north, by far the coldest day since we moved here. Paula, Raul and I started empting some things from the garage to take over to put in the new ministry house. We both got green lights so no problemo. Most of our friends were gone so we just started to work on the house, installing the rafters and roof purlins.Most of the work was up on the wall so it was really cold up there and soon Pastor Victors wife Erica invited Raul and me over for a cup of hot coffee. It took a while but we're ready for the roof and will do that today. Paula and some ladies emptied out our vehicles and sorted the clothes, shoes and other things. We are going to start giving clothes out tommorrow in the church and some left over packpacks from the fall. Two days to Christmas and I haven't set foot in a store all season. The Shongs called last night and arrived home to a house with no heat, so they get to experience colonia life, only a whole lot colder. Thanks again for coming and we'll see ya soon

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.
