Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: FELIZE DIA DE MADRE AND FELIZ CUMPLEANOS MARTIN

I don't like it when my birthday falls on Mothers Day, because I feel guilty getting attention when it's a day to celebrate Moms. So belated Happy Mothers Day all you Moms! We went to church on this side of the border, than came home and Paula made a ton of chicken to take to Mexico. Ruthy's Mom made a tres leches cake for my birthday and they are soooo good. Lucy made fresh tamales and Ruthy and her Mom made Mole'. It really is all about food in this life and these Mexican friends of ours are great cooks. We ate and then hoisted the piniata for some real Mexican style celebration. We all had our chance to break the ELMO but I think Paula did the most damage to it when she and the piniata fell hard to the ground with a mighty blow. The kids all had a blast and we laughed until we cried. We came home about 8 oclock only to return to Mx early this morning to help some friends move and then meet a missionary on our lot to see if the hand dug well could bring forth water with some extra digging. He checked it out and said he would bring his drilling rig next week and hopefully hit water. Tomorrow we pour the concrete floor on a church we're helping build. Over 100 degrees everyday for the last week

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.
