Mexico Missions with Bruce and Paula

Phil and Marianne Chain are the directors of Mexico Missions, Inc and invited Dr. Clark to come and test out the portable dental lab that Phil and I bought 2 years ago. It was a huge blessing to those that came and the lab worked great. Just the sound of the drills made me shiver and it did a few of the kids as well. Many of the people had never been in a dental chair before today and Dr Clark did everything he could to calm the hearts of the fearful. Paula, Phil and Marianne assisted the Doc for over 8 hours and 30 patients. I made sure the people waiting had water to drink and even bought everyone a freeze pop when he came jingling through the colonia. I kept the kids occupied with coloring books and crayons while they waited their turn in the chair.
Tomorrow we have our monthly food and clothes distribution and the doc will see patients after that.I built a few more benches to try to get everyone a place to sit, but I still need a few more. So much to do, so little time!

It was a great time on Wednesday dedicating the last of the fourteen houses we have had the privilege of building since January. Isaias and his wife Brenda are a very young couple with two small children. They have lived with their parents their whole lives, even after they married and started building their family. Well that has all changed for them now, thanks to the generous support of those of you that give to our ministry. We had no team, or special donation to build the house or the last one for that matter, but God. I love that expression, BUT GOD, who is rich in mercy and love , provides for the needs of the poor. We had the foundation ready for a few months and never had the opportunity to build it, until this week. Two days, start to finish and thats it for a while.
We have Dr. Clark here from OK doing a dental clinic with the portable dental lab we bought a year or so ago. He will be here two days, so please pray for a problem free outreach. A dental visit is probably hard for most of the people in the colonia, that only go when things are really bad with a tooth or whatever.

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.
