What is KidsHeart?

KidsHeart is a joint effort of Buckner and CBF to reach the people living in the poorest counties of Texas with the Gospel.  This population is Hispanic and the counties are along the Texas/Mexico  border.  Large numbers of children are affected by poverty in these counties.

 

How does it work?

The work is carried on by small groups of local coordinators that work with churches and community leaders in the targeted counties to identify local needs.  These coordinators match needs of the poorest counties with the talents and gifts of prople from your church.  By meeting these needs your people have opportunities to share the good news about Jesus.

 

How do I get involved?

Contact the CBF Texas office (210-488-8169 or cbftex@aol.com) and a representative will help you to get your church ready for involvement in KidsHeart

·        Plan your own mission trip (anytime during the year)

We can help you plan your own church’s mission trip in the Harlingen/McAllen area or in the El Paso area too.  In El Paso t here is a great deal of work to be done in the areas devastated by flooding.  There is economical housing for volunteers. This would be a closer area to serve for churches in west Texas and the panhandle, rather than traveling to the KidsHeart work in south Texas
