Buckner Missions is a ministry of Buckner International, a diverse global ministry dedicated to the restoration and healing of orphans and at-risk children and families. By traveling with Buckner, you can provide the gift of Jesus to orphan children and fulfill James 1:27, "This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father, to visit orphans and widows in their distress..."

Next Friday, September 11, the Peru Mission Team will leave for 10 days of ministry. We will primarily be working at Caritas, a home for 2-18 year old girls who have been sexually abused. Currently 56 girls call Caritas home. We will be providing humanitarian aid to the home and doing Bible study, crafts, and games with the girls each day. Pray that we will be able to offer these girls words of hope and moments filled with joy. Check this page frequently for pictures and updates while we are away.
