Colonia Mission Trip
WHAT IS A COLONIA?
The development of Texas colonias dates back to the 1950s. Using agriculturally worthless land, developers created unincorporated subdivisions with little or no infrastructure. Housing is primarily constructed by residents using discarded wood, cardboard or other materials - usually lacking electricity, plumbing and other basic amenities.
WHO IS BUCKNER?
For more than 135 years, Buckner International (www.buckner.org) has been transforming lives through hands-on ministry. In 2002, Buckner International began to provide innovative programming to support vulnerable children and families living in poverty in the colonias along the Texas/Mexico border (www.buckner.org/rio-grande-valley/).
2026 IS OUR THIRTEENTH YEAR
It is our thirteenth year working with Buckner International in the Penitas Colonia, we had a 2-year hiatus with Covid. Each year, beginning in 2011, over 230 Woodlawn and Memorial Baptist Church in Taylor regulars have joined one of the teams to use their gifts and abilities to impact the Penitas Colonia. This is your year to be a part of the Colonia Mission Project!
