FoxNews! Update
Luke 2:10-12
And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.11For unto you is born this day in he city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.12And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."
Merry CHRISTmas Y'all! As I write to y'all we are 1 day away from Christmas. The excitement level is high on everyones part! My beautiful wife will soon begin to cook the beloved Birthday cake for Jesus. We will open the presents and play all the day long. We will eat a big dinner hang out together, drink coffee, watch the kids, laugh and play and it will be awesome. I pray that we would never loose our focus on why we celebrate CHRISTmas. Not the presents, not the food, not the fellowship but JESUS CHRIST. The REAL reason for the season. During this month of celebrations, Party's, and whatnot, Please don't loose focus on why we celebrate. GOD became man and dwelt among us! Immanuel. May the King receive the Glory due HIM this Christmas. From the Fox family and from yours also! GLORY be unto the King Jesus!
James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

One of the girls that Placy is disciplining has to do community service at an Orphanage. She invited us to go with her and hang out with the kids. There are 13 boys of varying ages. Placy & the kids baked cookies for them and we donated some used clothes to the boys. We got everything ready to go and on the way there we got hit by a taxi! He about took off the front end of the X-Terra. After a few good well placed kicks the the bumper everything was fine and we were on our way. We got there a bit late but in Xalapa that means on time! We had about 6 people from our church show up. Jorge (my FAT Boy) got up and shared the Gospel of Christ with them, Julio sang some songs and Logan, Isa, & Ale, handed out presents. It was a really great time. I thank GOD Almighty that HE allowed us to be a blessing to those poor kids. Why Poor Kids ? Because they have NOTHING but each other. No mom & dad to hung them at night, to love on them. They will spend CHRISTmas Alone. Please pray for them and everyone else that is less fortunate than us. We have had a family that is attending IBUC once a month. They live 10 hrs away. They come into town because the son (Fernando 10yrs old) has leukemia. Our Elder Don Cesar & I got to share the gospel with them at Church this time. They made no descion, but Salvation is a work of the LORD. We just need to share when the opportunity presentes itself. We already had planned to invite the Jovenes to the house for the Superbowl of Mexican Futbol (Soccer), so we invited them also & they came! I wish I had a picture I could share with yall of Fernando's face. Pure happieness! As he played with Logan & his friends at the house. We fed them WELL then they left for the bus station to start their 10hr ride home. Please pray for the health & salvation of this family. GOD knows them and desires that they come to know HIM.

The Foxes
Posted December 24, 2009 by Bryan and Placy. Dearly beloved, It's been a while. Thank ya'll for being patient with us! I kinda wanted to do somethin a little different that in the past I hope y'all enjoy. This was what our summer looked like.
Our Summer...
We received in three teams this summer, two from FBC Jonesboro & one from DBC. We painted, shared the gospel, hung out and encouraged the youth group, we have traveled to Denton (2,000 mile round trip drive!) for the Missions conference, broke down on the way, spent three days in hotels waiting, had a great time with our family, spent Memorial day with good friends, had a fish fry with my uncle a week before he died, went to Chihuahua to see the family, lost a niece in Chihuahua, I had emergency knee surgery in Xalapa, lived thru the initial round of the Swine Flue, Watched as our son started futbol, and our daughters start swimming. preached @ a youth retreat an saw 8 come to know Christ as their saviour, Preaching thru 1 Timothy in the Church, I turned 41, celebrated 8 yrs of Marriage, taught my son how to fish, moved from Xalapa to Coatepec, painted the church, painted the girls room, Painted Selvas house, finally got my work visa, exercised church disciple on an Elder, added one more FAT Boy, had our truck fixed, fixed the Black Pearl (my Scooter), hosted numerous important futbol games, continually encouraging the body, Got a new grill for the hospitality ministry and I got glasses.
Coming home...
Well, I need to tell ya'll that we will be coming home sometime in March. the reasons are two fold.
1st, for every four years of service over seas, DBC wants the Missionaries to come back to serve a "Home service" tour. This recharges the battery's of the Missionaries & helps them to reconnect to their Church & their supporters. we have served faithfully in Mexico for the last 5 1/2 yrs. so our time is due to return for a bit.
2nd, Over this last year, we have lost a lot of our monthly support. so our goal when we return to Denton will be Get our support back up to where it needs to be, spend some good time with ya'll, and serve the body there at Denton Bible! Please remember, we live off of your support, in the field AND at home. Immediate Needs? we need furnished housing. preferably in Denton. our family is 5 (and no we don't Smoke). Please, if you know of or have housing that will be available in March-Dec., email me right away at bfox@serve-intl.com or you can call me @ (940)-488-4695.
The Future...
Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way,but the LORD establishes his steps."
As ya'll know, we have been alone here in Xalapa for the last two yrs. there was no Team Mexico. Well, now we have our new team leader in Paul Lambert! Paul and his family are in central Mexico in a city called Querétaro. Once we get our support raised, we will be moving to Querétero to join Team Mexico! Our team will be Paul & Deniese Lambert, Tim & Tona Bedford & Bryan & Placy Fox. it has been such a pleasure serving our Lord and Saviour here in Xalapa. Thank ya'll for your support.

-Come & get involved: Opportunities for local and international involvement will be highlighted throughout the conference.
-Come & bring the whole family: there will be a childrens program on both days that will take the kids to far away places like China and Kenya while having them back in time to be picked up.
