Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

Did you know...

• 1.6 billion people have yet to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.
• 2008 Lottie Moon goal is $170 million.
• We have through the SBC, 5,318 missionaries (1,079 short-term and 4,239 long-term)
• 3,000 new missionaries are needed
• Our goal of $41,580 will more than support on missionary for a year!

Here is an excerpt from a letter written by Lottie Moon that triggered Southern Baptists’ first offering for international mission in 1888 – enough to send three more missionaries to China.

How many there are…who imagine that because Jesus paid it all, they need pay nothing, forgetting that the prime object of their salvation was that they should follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ in bringing back a lost world to God.

Lottie Moon, Tengchow, China, Sept. 15, 1887

Thank you for all you are doing to enable and empower missionaries
around the world to share the Good News of Jesus Christ!!!
