OUR TIME, THE POORS GAIN

Our time away from Mexico, means the that the poor gain in the long run. The blessings of God are being poured out into our lap, pressed down and shaken together. The generosity of people is nothing short of a miracle as people hear the hear the voice of God to help the poor, and put action behind their faith. It is written in the Proverbs, that he who hears the cries of the poor and does something will indeed be blessed. Lunch with a complete stranger Wednesday brought me face to face with a man that has a passion to feed the poor and donated an entire truck load of beans to our ministry. Not twenty four hours later another gift was given to us to purchase another truck load of beans and build a house for a family as well. Two men, two gifts, will buy enough beans to provide six hundred thousand meals to those in need, and move a family from the pit, to the palace!!! Or pizza luncheon two weeks ago had over 150 people come and hear about the needs of the poor in Mexico and Gods people responded with enough money to build two more houses and sponsor a few children for school this fall. Jesus blesses our yesses and when we return to Mexico, Paula, Alan, Lynnea  and Me will have plenty of  houses to build to keep us busy. We will drive to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the next few days to pick up the fifty thousand watt generator that has been donated for the trade school. Several friends have blessed us with their cars while we have been here, and we have been blessed with a truck to get the generator from the U.P. A great time last weekend with our girls when we spent the weekend in Michigan, golfing and then swimming in the lake. So, I can't help but be sad about leaving here in a few days, but longing to return to Mexico and get back to what really gives us meaning and purpose, helping people in need. Our missionary friends in Reynosa, Roy and Rebbecca Busby, have built several homes with groups that endure the summer heat in Mx to be a blessing to the poor. Roy called me and told me about all the children that accepted Christ at an outreach they held, and several adults as well. Our "Junkin for Jesus" partners are still scrapping tons of metal every week and donating the proceeds to feed the poor. MANOS HUNTOS is Spanish for hands together and that is what our ministry is about. Getting people working together to help those in need and we want to thank everyone on behalf of the poor for being obedient to the call of God on all of our lives to help those in need.
