Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: THE GOODNESS OF GOD BRINGS FORTH REPENTENCE

We arrived home last Sunday night, and Monday morning we started moving the walls and all the other materials from our lot to the foundation built last month. Carmello and Beto took a house apart piece by piece that we built last year because the family was moving and didn't want to give the house to her drunken brother, so we took it back and gave it to Guadalupe and his wife Amelia, and thier four boys, Antonio, Joan', Noel, and Christian.We dedicated the house yesterday and with the fresh new coat of paint and new glass in all the windows, it looks like a brand new house. God has blessed two families with one house. As the Pastor shared from Gods word about how much Jesus loves them, and has given them this house out of that Love, the whole family was brought to tears and invited the Living Ressurected Christ to come and live in thier hearts by faith and Jesus gave them eternal life. What a great scene as Lupe' carried his wife across the threshhold of thier new house, and the look on thier faces when they saw how beautiful it was inside. We brought a basket full of hot dogs that Lucy cooked while we finished decorating and we shared the first meal in thier new house. Please pray for this special family as they begin thier walk with the Lord, and for Paula too, her back went out as she un packed everything given to us when in Chgo.

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.
