GOD ALWAYS HAS PEOPLE TO HELP THOSE IN NEED

Friday, George and Bonnie brought several winter servants that live and serve at the Rio Grande Bible Institute to come and help us finish the house we have been building for the "Twins" in Reynosa. We had a lot of work to do, but as the old saying goes, " many hands makes little work". We had the rafters and the roof on before lunch and the porch, trim and finishing touches were all done by 3:30. We shared the Love of Christ with the family in a very practical way, by meeting their needs. The group from RGBI shared about how they love to come to Texas and serve, instead of Wasting their lives playing shuffle board, square dancing and finding a cheap place to eat. They understand that giving of themselves, for the benefit of others, is what God created them to do. We had an informal dedication so the family could sleep in the new house, until next week, when we hope to have some people from Church join us and have an official dedication. We bought them two new beds so they didn't have to sleep on the floor until next week. and we will bring everything from curtains to diapers to bless the family even more, before Victor carries his bride across the threshold of their new home. While we were building the house, Paula and the girls prepared 150 bags of food for yesterdays outreach. Again George and Bonnie showed up at our house at 7:00 am with two more people, Stan and His wife that are training and learning Spanish at RGBI to become Missionaries to a Spanish speaking Nation. We headed back to Mexico to hand out the food and juice boxes for the kids, along with notebooks, pens and paper for the older kids in school. We sang praises to God and had a brief message before all 158 families recieved their food and headed home. George and Stan handed out suckers to all the kids as they left. A few families stayed behind for prayer, one women has cancer, another had asked for prayer for her entire family that is sick with the flu. On the down side of ministry to the poor, we had bought a house back from a family that needed to move and we moved a single Mom in there to live as long as she needed, rent free and we heard yesterday, that she sold the house to someone else. Even though it wasn't her house to sell and after all the help we had given her, we couldn't help but feel used by her. Oh well God knows! Caleb had His fourth birthday last week and we had a "Cars" pinata made for him and Paula made Chicken and mole'. We didn't get home until 4 in the afternoon and then Rick and Diane took us out to dinner. I had to go and meet the POWER team in Hidalgo, Tx at 11 o'clock last night to pick up over 300 bibles and tracts they had for me. They have spent two weeks ministering all along the border. Google POWER MINISTRIES and see the great things they do. Today they have a carnival at an orphanage in Reynosa for the kids.
