CBF, Buckner Launch New Ministry Along U.S./Mexico Border
Buckner International, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Global Missions, and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of the West will work together to establish ministry along the Mexican border with Arizona and California.
The three organizations – plus Together for Hope, CBF’s rural poverty initiative – signed a memorandum of understanding for this collaborative ministry during the Fellowship’s annual General Assembly in June in Memphis, Tenn.
The collaborative will facilitate mission immersion experiences for U.S. churches along the border in an effort in educate Baptists about how to reach Hispanics in their own communities. Building off the success of KidsHeart – a ministry partnership between Together for Hope and Buckner in the Rio Grande Valley – this new collaborative will expand similar ministries to Arizona beginning this summer.
