Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: A BUSY AND BLESSED WEEK

As the week started Paula Raul and I helped the folks from Laharpe Il start and finish building a house in just a few days, and then we worked on Jaimies' house and Beto and Carmello finished a lot of the work, as we spent the last few days being blessed by the presence of our daughters Kristin and Kelly. We just dropped them off at the airport after spending the day on Padre Island for lunch and a walk on the beach. We spent yesterday, after a great church service at Calvary Baptist in Mcallen, in the colonia. We really wanted the girls to meet our friends in the colonia, and they were excited to meet the girls.We brought over carrot cake and lemon bundt cake and enjoyed a cup of coffee as well as the cakes. We also went to the market in downtown Reynosa where they were having a music and craft festival. We were the only Americans there and those two beautiful blond haired blue eyed girls sure got a lot of looks. The things that happened last week have kept all the Americans in America. We then went out for a great fajita dinner at our favorite resturante' in Reynosa. We miss the girls already. Please pray for them, they got a call on the way to the airport that a friend from the town they lived in years ago with thier Mom passed into eternity today at 34 years old. God Bless you all 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.
