Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: HEALING IS COMING , AND SO IS A BUNCH OF BLESSINGS TO THE COLONIA

I wrote the other day that I had type 1 diabetes and I was in a funky place for a few days. Monday the doctors office called and had the rest of my blood tests and the doc wanted to see me again. This time, like all good men, I brought my wife with to really listen to what the doc said. Oh how wise we get with age! The doc told us that I had type 2 diabetes, not type 1 Praise the Lord! You see healing is already working its' way through my body. I'm standing on Gods promise to heal me, but I'm going to make some lifestyle changes to accompany my healing. Thanks for the prayers.
It's starting to get colder here and Alan, Dave B. and I were able to get a golf game in today. Paula and Lynnea are making tamales today and I can't wait to eat a few. This missions season os really shaping up to be very busy with 5 groups coming between Christmas and the end of February building at least 9 homes and a community center on our vacant lot in the colonia. I'm kinda stressing to get everything done before Christmas, but God has my back as promised in Isaiah 58. We need your prayers for a great missions season and that God will provide an additional R.V. or camper trailer to fit everyone coming next month.

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.
