Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: I HATE THE TECH AGE !!!!!

Last Thursday we took our computer to a company that was going to backup our data, clean junk out and re-install our data, and poof, everything was gone. All ouR data, our mailing and supporters info, personal files, everything gone. I knew I should have done everything on a leger in my own handwriting, just like I do with all of our ministry expenses. I hate computers, and don't trust them, IT IS THE BEAST OF REVELATION. On the good side of life, we bought the materials for the water tower and Scott and Tom drove down from Austin and we welded it all together on Sunday on site and we hope to attatch the tank and stand it up this week along with another tank and tower that have been donated by the Reynosa water company. It's in another colonia and we'll have to dissasemble it and truck it over to the colonia, rent a crane to stand it and the other one up on the same day. Roy and Rebecca are back and they brought us our 12,000 watt propane generator to power our house in Mx , if we ever build it, otherwise we might hook it up at our house on this side and if a hurricane ever wipes out power, we'll have back up.

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.
