Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: MUCHOS NINOS

Friday started at 5;00 am for Raul and me as we headed for the colonia to drive 25 people to the gov't office that handles social services for the poor in mexico. They all need to sign up in person to recieve any help from the gov't and the line starts forming very early so we needed to get them there by 6:00am. We dropped them all off there and came back to the colonia to get ready for an outreach to all the kids in the colonia that Light the Borders Ministry is putting on and the team is staying at our house and will be ministering here for two days. There were over a hundred kids that came for bible school, crafts and other winter bible school activities. Theresa , June and thier team did an excellent job ministering to all the children at Pastor Victors church followed by over 250 hot dogs served that we grilled at the conclusion on Saturday. Many lives were impacted by the Gospel message they shared. The foundation is being built on our lot and will be ready by Tues. We were hoping to take a little break, but God has us building our storage house before teams arrive in a few weeks, it will be nice to empty the garage out. A Christmas musical and play at church today reminded Paula and me of Moraine and how we so enjoyed the musical at Christmas. God Bless You all and keep those cards and letters coming. 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.

Judy and I will continue to pray for you and what God is doing in the colonial. We will be praying for a time that you and your bride can spend together just blessing each other.
I wanted to say what a great blessing it is to know you guys and it encourages me to think about you and what God is doing in your lives.
Feliz Navidad
