Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: LOTS GOING ON PHOTOS TO FOLLOW

We've been so busy since Dave, Karen, Al, Lynnea, Roger, Chuck, Sharon and Larry arrived, I haven't made any posts for you ardent followers of our blog. Sometimes I just plain forget and if Paula doesn't post any photos I don't think it's worth just writing about things, but that's not right. Any how we have been really busy and the team helped us give out the food and gifts yesterday in the colonia, as 190 families came and 300 kids. We were a bit overwhelmed by the numbers, but every one got food and every child got gifts and juice and ever women got a Mothers day gift. We also took the team down to the families where they will be building, starting tomorrow. It rained three inches here today and we are hoping for some dry land in the colonia to work in. We have a team of 15 people coming from the Chicago area and the early birds have been helping us a lot around the house on the U. S. side. Paulas honey do list is getting done.

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.
