OVER THE GOAL: as of January 26th, we have given $4,712.33 to Lottie Moon mission offering. Our goal was $4,000.
“How many million more souls are to pass into eternity without having heard the name of Jesus?" That question, ever-present in the letters of Lottie Moon, seared her heart as she planted her life as a missionary to China a century ago. During the past five generations, Southern Baptists have been motivated by Lottie Moon to plant their lives in missions by going or supporting others who are carrying the gospel light into the darkness.
Today, we support 5,318 missionaries on the field. Our goal for the annual missions offering named for Lottie Moon is a substantial $170 million. What would Lottie think? Would she, citing the 1.6 billion who live precariously in unreached areas, challenge us once again: “How many million more souls are to pass into eternity without having heard the name of Jesus?”
IMB encourages Southern Baptists to give through their local churches to the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
