Week of Prayer for International Missions



The International Mission Board of the SBC reports over 2.8 billion people who have little or no access to the Gospel. Your prayers and gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering ([link removed]) are a tremendous support and blessing in getting His message out to the nations. Our Lottie Moon national goal for 2022 is $185 million.

Your church should have received offering envelopes and other materials. If you did not receive them or need additional materials, email [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) .
