Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO

As I type this, the last of our friends from Chicago and Arizona are packing their bags and we're heading to church before taking them to the airport. Al, Lynnea, Dave and Karen are flying home and Larry from Az. is driving to Chicago to continue His ministry of service helping His daughter. It has been one heck of a week and a half as they partnered with us building two homes, feeding the colonia and handing out hundreds of gifts to the women and children in Mexico. And most of all helping us with things around our house. So for the last 10 days, people from Harvest Church in Burbank and Moraine Valley Church in Palos Heights, Il allowed God to live His life through them as they reached out beyond their comfort zones and served The Living God. The houses were built and decorated in the usual way, but on dedication day, GOD CAME DOWN!! He visited us as we prayed a prayer of Salvation with Victor and Elda, kneeling on the ground with Eldas' sister Julianna and her husband Eliazar, who had prayed to receive Christ just one month ago. A true visitation from The Holy Spirit as we sang songs and prayed, that God would bless these new believers and their families. The team was a real blessing to us and the people in Mexico. So happy Cico de Mayo

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.
