Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: THE BLESSING IS IN THE GIVING

Tuesday we poured the concrete on the sunday school classroom and the Pastor was so gratefull that we came and blessed his church in such a huge way. I plan on building them pews for the church as well. There are several churches that could use pews, so I guess I'll be building quite a few in the weeks to come. We have a blueprint for some real nice 8 foot pews and I'll try to cut all the wood here in the states and then the guys in Mx will help me put them together. Today we gave out groceries to about a hundred families and some mosquito nets as well. We did something a little different today, and took prayer requests from everyone and after we gave out all the food we had, we took a few minutes to pray for all the people we met today. We gave out several bibles and prayed with one young man as he really desires to start living for God. Ruth had a great meal waiting for us when we returned to the Ministry House. There is no better way to express the Love of God than meeting some real needs in a real way, so thanks to those of you that support what we do here, we are truly blessed by being a blessing, and those of you that don't, what are you waiting for?

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.
