Rio Bravo Ministries is a faith based ministry located in Reynosa, Tamalupas Mexico, directly across the border from McAllen Texas. Rio Bravo ministries supports Hogar de Niño’s Rio Bravo (Rio Bravo Children’s Home), Escuela Esperanza (Hope Christian School) as well as many local churches and non-profit organizations in northern Mexico.
Rio Bravo Ministries is an independent non denominational ministry that receives its sole support through individuals and churches that share the same vision.
At its conception, the RBM core belief was to become a "Bridge of Hope" that connected the local needy Mexican community with the wider network of resources of American Christians. In this manner we fulfill our charge given by James 1:27 "Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep oneself unspotted from the world". What we have discovered at Rio Bravo is when you get your "Church, Youth Group, Community or Family" involved in missions a mutual life changing event happens in the lives of both "the ministered and the minstrel".
Easter at Rio Bravo Ministries
This week is Easter break for the children of Rio Bravo Ministries. The reason for Resurrection Sunday is emphasized as we remember the price Jesus paid to redeem us. It is truly a blessed time. All three homes are attending a time of fun, games and Bible study at the church the girl's home attends. We have lent them our inflatable games which everyone loves. We use them for outreach services. The church has had large crowds and the kids are looking forward to two more days of fun. We just received the clothing from Trinity Christian in Addison, Texas. The school has an annual clothing drive for us. Along with the much needed clothing the students also sends enough underwear and socks to last our children for most of the year. We all look forward to the "black bags" from Trinity because it always feels like Christmas again when we go through them.
