Without sponsors of any kind and without
any outside help, they had to totally rely upon God to obey his call. God
honored their faith and Border Missions first opened in December,
1956.
Mexico was truly a land of darkness where
idols were worshiped. There were many who were very poor who had no help from
the government and precious little help from any charity. Mexico was
predominately a Catholic nation and there existed restrictions in regards to
sharing the gospel. Thus, Border Missions was built in the United States - one
mile from the border.
The scripture in Isaiah depicts the bait
that draws the people from Old Mexico to the mission. We feed and clothe them
in order to reach them for God. Each time they come, they attend an
evangelistic service in which the gospel is given in Spanish under the power of
the Holy Spirit. It is mainly Mexican ministers who deliver the messages. We
see many come forward for salvation in each service. Truly the harvest is ripe
and ready for reaping.
Border Missions has grown throughout the
years in accordance with the increased attendance. In fact, seven enlargements
have been necessary.
On May 17, 2005, Rev. Mrs. H.A. Morgan
was laid to rest beside her husband, Rev. Harold Morgan who had preceded her in
death by 42 years. They are interred at the Roselawn Cemetery, McAllen, Tx.
Rev. Warren J. Piersol of Corpus Christi officiated. A celebration of her life
was held at the Border Missions tabernacle in Hidalgo beforehand. Reverend Mrs.
Morgan was remembered for her unfailing dedication to the service of the
Mexican people for 48 years. Included in the service was a video which depicted
her work throughout those years and also an excerpt from a message which she
had delivered on her radio ministry which she had maintained on KCTA radio
station for many years. Among the family members attending were her only
surviving child, Mrs. Beulah Morgan Bosch of Pharr, as well as her
grandchildren: Sue Decoretz of San Antonio, Robin Anderson of Houston, Michael
Kent of Austin, Rhonda Gray of Harlingen, and Kathy Johnson of McAllen, and her
great-grandchildren: Kimberly Ward of Dallas, Anthony Kent of Leander, Brandon
Kent of San Antonio, Morgan Johnson of McAllen, Megan Johnson of McAllen,
Zachary Johnson of McAllen, Holly Johnson of McAllen, and Ariana Gray of
Harlingen.
