Campaign for Lottie Moon
We start our emphasis on foreign missions through the collection of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering on Sunday, December 6th. We will collect gifts each week until January 3rd. We are called to pray for missionaries and the lost as well as our faithfulness in what God would have us to give to support missionaries (100% of this offering helps put and keep missionaries on the field) is the focus of this emphasis. Yet we are also called to see and share with the lost around us. 59% of the world has never heard the gospel of Jesus. You can participate in supporting the sharing of the gospel and those who are on the ground in those areas sharing this good news of Jesus. Please note “Lottie Moon” on your giving envelope or on your on-line gift.
