Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: CALEB TURNS ONE

When we first came to the colonia last Jan. Ruth was just about ready to give birth to Caleb. We built them a house in April and bought the lot next door to them and built a house there last month. Ruth, Carmello, Mimi and Caleb are a very special part of our lives here and a birthday party was something we wouldn't miss for anything. We all had a great time with great friends and great food. Paula bought Caleb a swing and he loves it. Spong Bob was beaten to a pulp by the kids to get at all the candy inside the doomed cartoon icon. Ruth, Lucy and Paula prepared the food outreach bags and have the clothes ready for Saturdays clothes give away. We have raised over $500.00 in donations to build a building for Sunday school classes and outreach ministry next to Victors church. On Monday we took Julie, who is an intern with Sons of Salvation to visit the orphanage she will be staying at for three months as part of her intern program. The name of the orphanage is Casa Hogar Benito Juarez. We are going to be housing several teams there in the next few months. They are building a new dormitory for the teams and it looks like a great facility, and only gets worked on when groups come and donate thier time. Our other intern Mitchell, leaves for the Czech Republic for his three month stint. We leave for Paulas Moms on Friday, so I get to watch the Super Bowl in Spanish for the third year in a row in Tejulpilco, Mx where her Mom lives. We are looking forward to the visit, so please pray for us as we travel. We are taking the van and dropping Raul off at his home town on the way , he needs a copy of his birth certificate to get his Texas drivers license. 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.
