Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula: A WHIRLWIND WEEK

After spending a few days at Lake Shaffer for Labor Day, we closed on the townhouse Tuesday afternoon and our kids, Rich Arrigo, and Ron Shong were there waiting to unload the trailer, truck and Suburban. What a huge help they were. We didn't have any other furniture except the dinning room. Lots of bins and other stuff stored at a friend's place in Griffith, Indiana was moved that day. Rich and Ron's wives came and helped Paula clean.

Our daughter Kelly arranged to have all the carpets cleaned the next day, and the bedroom set and couch were delivered Friday. Buying a mattress in a box delayed sleeping there 3 more days, as it expanded to the proper size. 😴

We're in our new home now and stand amazed at God's Goodness. Our realtor slid a check to Paula at closing to help Melodys Orphanage in Progresso Mexico 🇲🇽. You talk about divine appointments!!

The ministry in Mexico 🇲🇽 is going along quite well with Sergio and China running things, Juan,Saul, his family and the girls in Paula's sewing class are helping out.

This Sunday at Moraine Valley Church we will be featured on the Missionary Moment at the 10 o'clock service followed by a meet and greet and then a 🍕 pizza luncheon in room 116. The address of the church is 6300 W 127th St Palos Heights, IL. We hope to see you there!! I've copied our newsletter and ways to donate directly to the Orphanage if you are led.

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.
