Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: WE'RE BACK AND BUSY

Even though we are back in Texas, our hearts are still with family and friends in Illinois. Celebrating with our kids Kristin's 40th birthday was a highlight of our trip. Kelly flew in and several of Kristin's friends joined us at a concert.

Being able to see many of our supporters at Moraine Valley Church for two Sundays was special. On our way home we stopped by Mary Lous for lunch and then 4 days in Carthage Illinois to visit with some friends there and join in the harvest of their crops for a day. Thanks Rick and Diane Balmer for the hospitality.

Melodys Orphanage has started to move everything from Reynosa to the Orphanage in Matamoros. Paula and I brought our trailer over yesterday and helped move all the A\C units two freezers, mattresses, and many other things. We didn't get home until 9pm last night.

The Power Ministry scout out team is at the border bringing beans and rice to the many ministries they support including us. We will take them to the new orphanage tomorrow morning to check out possible work projects in the future.

It's good to be back and seeing everyone again. The border is so out of control down here and only a couple bridges are open after 4pm to return home.

Thanks for the prayers and support and funding for the orphanage which Let The Children Come Ministries is in the process of raising support for Jaime Mayorga and the kids. Support for the orphanage needs to go through this Ministry not Mexico Missions. LTCCM. is run by the Grennell family 17600 Pecan Ln Tinley Park IL. Gracias

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.
