At Buckner, it is always a privilege to tell our story:  stories of heartbreak and success; stories of hope and healing; and stories of people changing lives, one child at a time. In this new web-based forum, we’ll have a chance to tell you more about the ministries of Buckner and about ways you can engage with us to serve our community.

     In this new blog for Buckner in Southeast Texas, you’ll read about our efforts to take care of children through residential and foster care services.  You’ll read about adoptions and transitional services to alumni of the foster care system.  And you will read about lives transformed through our community programs, geared towards abuse prevention and family preservation.

     You’ll also read about changes headed our way.  Growth.  Responsive change;  exciting change that will place Buckner in a position to better respond to children in need.

     We hope you’ll engage in the discussion, and let us know what you think.  If our years serving children has taught us anything, it’s that we can certainly do more together than we can separately.  At Buckner, we are always looking for opportunities to work together, whether the work is found across the globe, throughout the state of Texas, or right here in the Golden Triangle.

Our theme at Buckner is Go. Be. Do.

Go Somewhere.

Be a Family.

Do Something.

Maybe you could host an informational meeting for our foster care and adoption ministries; or you might consider participating in our “adopt-a-room” program, decorating one of our children’s bedrooms on campus.  Perhaps your church would be interested in taking a mission trip to one of the many countries served by Buckner.  Regardless of your gifts or interests, Buckner can help turn an interest in missions into an opportunity.
