Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: CALVARYS' HEART TO MEET NEEDS BEYOND THE BORDER

When the Cross Seekers ABF class told us they were applying for a matching amount of the two thousand dollars they had raised, from the Radical Matching Fund Project, Paula and I started the process of seeking a family to receive Gods wonderful provision of a new house. We met Victor and Elizabeth last month, when we handed out food and gifts at our monthly outreach in the Colonia Nopalera in Reynosa, MX. They have a 13 year old daughter Estrella, a ten year old Aracili, a son Ray who is five and two precious twins Jose' Alejandro and Jose' Alberto who are two months old. I call them Jos A and Jos B. The whole family lives in a 1 room house, no bigger than a king size bed and a little storage space for their stuff. They are absolutely ecstatic about the new house. We will have more pictures to share this week when we build the house, Thursday and Friday. If anyone is interested in coming to Reynosa and helping in the building of this house , please call or E-mail. All skill levels are welcome. Scroll through older posts to see other projects we have been involved in as we seek to live radically before our King. I spent Friday with about 90 men from all over the country at a bible school in Matamoros, Mx as the Power Ministry team moves from town to town along the border with various building and ministry projects, being the hands and feet of Jesus, touching lives wherever they go, including mine. Thanks Guys for the invite.

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.
