Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: THE HEAT IS ON, TIME TO HEAD NORTH FOR A SPELL

After returning from Oklahoma Monday, we started building a set of stairs from the road to the canal to make it easier to get the water pump, hoses and connecting lines into the water. It has been over a hundred degrees every day this week in the colonia and we finally got them done on Friday. It will make it a lot easier to pump water to the new bathrooms we are finishing as well. I'm getting a little to old to work in that heat all day. it takes a lot of me. Our missions Pastor,Chad, and Ron came with us on Thursday to see the colonia and the work we do there. We are getting some people interested in coming with us on our next home building. We might try to build one more house before we leave for Illinois, but with this heat, I'm good waiting until we return, besides Alan and Lynnea will be coming back down here with us to be missionaries ( WON'T YOU ? ) Pray for Alan and Lynnea as they seek Gods will. Answer the call? or not? Just messing with you guys. We need the help and the door is open. It looks like we will leave here on the 25th of June, and stay in Laharpe, Il through the 1st or second of July. We will be speaking at one church on the 30th and meet with all the Carpenters Crew and the One Family One Purpose teams as well. I'm trying to get a newsletter done in the next week because so much has happened already this year. We have built as many houses in 5 months this year than we did in all of last year, Praise The Lord! We celebrated Mimi and Beckys 7th birthday yesterday over in Mexico and the kids had a ball with the giant Princess pinata. Lots of food and cake. THANKS FOR PRAYING FOR US AND FOR YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT AS WELL.

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.
