Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER, WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES UPON YOU

Last week I joined the Power Ministry for thier first trip since Covid-19 crushed missions around the world. They usually have 80 men but reduced the trip to 40 men two weeks in a row. We started building a house for a Pastor along the Rio Grande River in Reynosa next to a new immigrant housing being built to hold 500 people.

Another team painted the houses at Children's Haven Orphanage in Reynosa. Another team made preparations for the carnival on Saturday. Our morning worship and devotional was a breath of fresh air to me and a lot of the guys. After 3 days in Reynosa we drove 7 hours to Del Rio Texas and bunked at Faith Mission.

The entire team went to Casa Hogar Esperansa in Acuna Mexico where 4 projects were started. A storage shed, a room addition, a porch roof and making of several bunk beds.

Our trip ends with every member sharing with the group a highlight or two. It was a rich time. It's time for the church to get over thier fear and re-engage in missions.

Upon our return to South Texas I received 3 pallets of rice from Power. I also got a call from Joe Warner in South Dakota. He has 24 thousand pounds of beans for us. Another call from Ken in Chicago donating 44 thousand pounds of beans. The Lord is preparing us for something special. The costs of transportation has gone through the roof. The two loads will cost about $8000.00. Ouch!!!.

Thanks for the prayers and support. Together we can do all things through Christ.

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.
