Glad Tidings:
What's your mission?
More than 4,000 people traveled on a Buckner mission trip in 2006, helping to share the gospel and show love to hundreds of orphan children and broken families in the Rio Grande Valley, Seattle and seven countries around the world.
“Your faith gets stretched in a way that we don’t allow it to stretch when we’re at home,” said Longview Baptist Church member Charles Risinger, a three-time Buckner mission trip participant to Latvia. “You see how God makes things happen when you realize that it’s just not humanly possible for you to have done it yourself.”

Thousands of people find their calling in missions each year when they seek to comfort God’s children through Buckner mission trips.
