A couple of years back, I had a thought – the greatest resource for God’s redemptive mission on earth is followers of Jesus who faithfully participate in a local congregation, house church, home church, or small group week after week. Yet these saints are under-utilized and under-challenged for their own God-given call to redemptive work. […]
August is an exciting month here at Buckner! There is a tangible outpouring of Christ’s love during our annual Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls drive. We are working hard to collect and provide new shoes for hundreds of thousands of orphans and vulnerable children. Shoes matter to these children. They provide access to education, protect […]

At the end of the month of May 2016, I had the privilege of travelling to Guatemala to catch up with Dulce and her sisters for a visit. Dulce received the 3 millionth pair of shoes Buckner collected over the past 15 years. One year ago I met Dulce, her sisters, and her parents on […]

I am not suggesting that our political differences […]
