Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: WHAT NO COKE ??

Yesterday we went to Rio Bravo to buy the food for this months outreach, rice,sugar, and cooking oil. We still have plenty of beans for several months and tomorrow we will bag it all up for Carmelo, Ruth, Beto, Lucy and Dan to hand out on Saturday. Ruthys' sister works at a China Buffet in Rio Bravo, so we stopped in for lunch and to my surprise, nobody ordered a Coke. We have tons of candy for the kids instead of a juice box this month. Perla and Juan have two ducks and wanted us to take a picture of them for everyone to see that knows them. While shopping, we bought Guadalupe' some tuna and a few other items. She told us her 94th birthday is on the 20th of Nov. so we'll get her something special for birthday. Wow 94 and living alone in the colonia. She enjoys the porch we built her last month and we always make sure she has food and water. The prosthetic leg I ordered on E-Bay arrived yesterday and we'll take it over tomorrow and see if it fits. We had our Sunday School class praying that it would, probably the strangest prayer request I ever had. We will Praise the Lord if it fits and Praise Him if it don't. I'll send it to Haiti if it doesn't, so somebody is getting a new/used leg. Maria is holding a box with her wedding dress in it. She showed it to us when we dedicated their new house afew weeks ago and it was filthy and just hanging on a hanger, so I took it to D & M Cleaners in Pharr that a friend Marty Moore owns and he cleaned it and boxed it up for Maria at no charge to bless her. MORE FAVOR!!

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.
