Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: A SPECIAL WEEK WITH SPECIAL PEOPLE

As we close out another week of building and ministry, I can't help but be so grateful for the people God brings into our lives to help us touch the lives of the people in Mx. It is always special when our family of friends, both old ones and new ones come from our home church, Moraine Valley in Palos Heights,Il. We all worked together and Thomas, Blanca, Chewy and Leslie have a new home, some work was done on a church in Progresso, Mx, the children were entertained by the clowns on our team, about 13 all tolled, and some souls were ushered into eternity with Christ.We were able to visit the old colonia we worked in for years and visit some old friends. A short week committed to the Lord brings about much fruit! Paula, Raul and I will be left with heavy hearts as we say goodbye to everyone. Larry and Judi head for Florida, Dave and Karen and the team back to Chicago just in time for a lovely snow storm. What a great week! Thanks to all that make these trips so special.

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.
