Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE

This past week had us busy building a foundation, buying food for the colonia to give out on Sat. and giving out school supplies and school shoes that our friends from Calvary Baptist Church in Mcallen bought when we let the need known in our Sunday school class. The kids were so excited to get new shoes and some supplies. We went to the Dodge Arena on Sunday to hear a message from Joel Osteen. We enjoyed the service and were encouraged. We continue to be melting here, over 30 days in a row over 100 degrees but we continue to work everyday in Mx. and love every minute of it. I got a call this week from a good brother wanting to donate a truck to our ministry here. WOW you talk about God meeting our needs. It's a four wheel drive with a full size bed and will be a real blessing when it gets all muddy in Mx and hauling all the things I do with my small truck. So I guess we'll have to come to Chicago and see all you guys again, except this time Paula is coming with and then drive back here with our new wheels.

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.
