Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: TOO MUCH TO GET CAUGHT UP ON, BUT HERE GOES

When we don't post every few days, it's hard to fill in all the blessings.
Nov 27th; Paula, Kristin, Kelly and I helped feed hundreds of homeless people at a shelter in Chgo the day before Thanksgiving. I was able to preach to and pray for many needy people living on the streets of Chicago, while the girls served ham, turkey and all the trimmings. A great and awesome day.
Nov 28th- Thanksgiving Day with our girls. Time well spent and we are thankful for them.
Nov 29th- We packed up and left for La Harpe, Il and spent the evening with Brad, Debbie, Gladys and Alford.
Nov 30th- Breakfast with the Balmers in LaHarpe and down the road toward Oklahoma to help build a house with the One Family One Purpose team.
Dec 1st- Worship at Hilltop Baptist Church where the team is staying while they build relationships and a home for Kathy Talbott and her children. Installed the trusses on her new home
Dec 2nd- Installed the roof decking, roof, and started the siding. Evening devotions awesome!
Dec 3rd- One last time to the building site for a group photo in the fog and down the road toward home. We met Phil and Marianne from Mexico Missions in Fort Worth for lunch, stopped in Waco,Tx at Rick Caywoods' warehouse to help load beans on his truck to be brought to our place, washed the filthy R.V. headed to San Antonio, dinner with Dan, Roseanne, and Theresa. Slept 100 miles from home.
Dec 4th- Organized the warehouse for the arrival of 40 thousand pounds of beans and unloaded the truck when Travis arrived.
Dec 5th-Several ministries came to get beans and rice in the morning and we went to Mexico to see all our friends we missed for so long. We spent the night there and it got pretty cold.
Dec 6th- Carmel and I drove to Rio Bravo, MX to meet a potential supplier of roofing and placed an order for 100 pieces of roofing needed by months end. NO MORE SMUGGELING ROOFING ACROSS THE BORDER !!! PRAISE GOD.
Yea, we're not too busy! But we are glad to be home and we thank all of you for your prayers and support. My diabetes is totally healed and my vision is being restored. I didn't have a sugar problem, I had a wisdom problem. The wisdom of proper eating and excersise has lowered my blood sugar levels to normal and my cloudy vision is going away. Whatever you face, look to God for wisdom for the situation, He has all the answers, JUST ASK!!!

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.
