Buckner will only be successful if you are a part of it.

I’m underlining this one because it’s important: Buckner International’s increased mission and scope will only be successful if you are a part of it.

Who is the “you” I’m addressing? It’s anyone who feels called by God to help others. How can you be part of the success of Buckner? By working – and walking – with us as we provide ways for you to help. That’s our business: creating ways for you to help others. How can you do that?
 
Share your resources with others. Most of you reading this are American, and we have a bad reputation, some of it deserved. American culture is selfish.  How many pairs of shoes, closets of clothes, TVs or automobiles do you or your family own?  The United States, Western Europe and Japan consume 80 percent of the world’s resources, but have less than 20 percent of the population.  How are Christians in the U.S. to react to a world where every day 30,000 children die from preventable disease and hunger?  What should the Christian community do about 143 million orphans in the world? One way is to share our resources. Consider this: In some of the countries where Buckner International works with orphanages, an entire orphanage, full of children, can be run annually for about the cost of a car in the U.S.
 
Find a place to serve that truly makes a difference.  We offer many ways for you to personally be involved in helping others that make a difference to children, and will make a difference in your life, as well. One of the most life-changing ways to do that is to share Christ’s love for children through missions in many countries, including the U.S. Go with us. In mid-November, we are launching www.itsyourmission.com, a Web site that will give you many ways and places to do that.
 
Make Christ the reason for your service. A lot of people and a lot of organizations promote doing good deeds. There’s nothing wrong with good deeds. They help people. But I will always advocate God deeds over good deeds. The actions may be the same, but the attitude makes all the difference. When you do God deeds for others, you will see people through God’s eyes rather than as “brownie points” or “credits” in the Christian life. You also will notice that as you perform actions of Christian service, you are realizing some of the best worship you will ever experience.
                
Again, Buckner needs you to engage and engage now. God is calling people – people like you --  to do missions in the world. Is it you?
