It was during the first few weeks of their freshman
year in college that Tom and Carol met and began a
relationship that has taken them through 54 years
together. They were married in July, 1959 and became
church planting missionaries. They have two children
and four grandchildren.
For the first 20 years they opened 3 closed churches
and helped a struggling church. In 1980 Tom became the
General Director of the American Mission for Opening
Churches. While serving in that position he started
the Olcott Bible Church. In 1996 through a series of
unique circumstances, Tom and Carol, along with
several other missionary families, started Church
Planters to America. Through these 50 years God has
blessed and hundreds have been saved. But 50 is only a
number and the Buckleys aren't finished yet. Keep them
in prayer as they lead C.P.A. Pray for continued good
health and for safety as they travel many miles in
their ministry for C.P.A. To their friends and
supporters we say, "Thank-you". Your
partnership with them is a blessing to all of us in
C.P.A.
