Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: IMMIGRATION OUT OF CONTROL

Even though immigration is out of control, the people still have needs. There are over 4000 people in 2 shelters in Reynosa and the overflow of people that can't get in, are living in makeshift shelters outside on the street. When Jesus saw the people, he had compassion on them and told the disciples to feed them, and I feel he has told us the same, so we do our best.

This week, we bought 150 queen size nice blankets, diapers, feminine products, deodorant, flour, oil, sugar to meet some of the needs. Jaime from Melodys Orphanage took the blankets and some beans to the people the other day. We are blessed to be a blessing!Blessing!!

The kids at Melodys Orphanage needed clothes and shoes and other things and Jaime and Rosalba were in the US, so we gave them permission to buy whatever they needed and put it on our credit card. Have you ever shopped for 14 kids with no limit on spending? What a privilege!!!

We have our monthly food outreach this Saturday instead of next Saturday because we'll be in Saltillo at Big Heart Orphanage in the mountains with a medical team doing ministry in the prisons in Saltillo. From there we will be traveling another 10 hours to visit Paula's family for the first time in many years.

We are so grateful for the continued prayers and support for the ministry. God has us busy doing a lot of different things these days. Paula now holds her quilting class 2 days a week, and they are busy making Christmas quilts.

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.
