Buckner Children’s Home
Lubbock, Texas
Today was the start of our first annual New Mexico mission trip in Las Cruces. With the assistance of Jerry and Ratha, our group from the Lubbock Buckner campus went to the home of a great woman. She is a Catholic who, even through the death of her husband and the onset of cancer, has stayed true to her faith. We were lucky enough to be able to help with the improvement of her house. We started by clearing the unnecessary items that have gathered around her house and picking up trash. We also scraped and primed the exterior of the house and replaced boards that had rotted away. After leaving the work site, we went to our sponsor’s house and had our daily devotional about prayer. It has really helped me and the other children feel more comfortable praying, while also improving our relationship with Christ.

It is true that there are so many people in need right here in the US. I think we all tend to think of mission work in 3rd world countries, but we can find mission work to do right in our own back yards if we look for the need. Thanks for sharing!
It always feel good to do something good!
We are so proud of all of you and your hard work. We can't wait to hear all about the mission trip. Bring photos.
