Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: Blogger no longer forwards posts to your Email, you have to search for it.

I didn't know that Blogger did that, but I'll post anyhow. Paula and I spent 1 week at Big Heart Orphanage in the mountains near Saltillo Mexico. Wayne and Diane Kelly brought 3 other people to spend time with Pastor Alejandro and his family. Jaime Mayorga from Melodys Orphanage drove his van over to transport the group around.

The Pastor built a apartment above the church to eliminate paying rent on a house. It needs some work, so the team did what they could and left money to complete the work. The only Sunday we were there we attended the church, which I was able to lead in worship. They gave every family a bag of food before the festival in the street next to the church.

Hundreds of people came to enjoy the games and huge blow up jumping things.

Paula and I left a day early to drive 600 miles to visit her family in Tejupilco. Her sister turned 90 and we had a great time with a lot of the family at a park. Paula's brother Fernando also came from Chicago to spend a couple weeks. We were able to golf a couple times in the mountains nearby. Everyone that worked at the golf course was given a Bible before we left.

We drove home Saturday and Sunday and are glad to be home, if even for a couple weeks. We'll be heading to Illinois for Thanksgiving.

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.
