Lottie Moon Christmas Offering

During the month of December, we collect a special offering, The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, named after the woman who was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world’s greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence. She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®. 100% of your donation supports international missionary presence. This year, our church’s goal is $22,000.
