The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering Kicks Off In March!

The Easter Offering for North American missions is named for Annie Armstrong, a tireless advocate for giving, praying, and going to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who did not know Him. One hundred percent of the funds given to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering go directly to meet the needs of missionaries throughout North America.

Annie Armstrong was born in 1850 in Baltimore, Maryland. While her opportunities were limited as a women, she was dedicated to Christ and led a life of service and leadership. She organized women to pray, give, and meet needs. As the first executive director of Woman’s Missionary Union, Annie challenged pastors and churches to action and rallied vital support for missionaries. Her life of missions work included leading the formation of missions organizations for children, raising support for missionaries to Italian and Jewish immigrants, initiating fundraising “brick cards” to build churches in Cuba, gaining support for the first Black female
missionaries with the Home Mission Board (now NAMB), and advocating for Native Americans and impoverished mountain people. In 1934, because of her trailblazing and visionary leadership, the offering started in 1895 to support the work of the Home Mission Board was renamed in her honor to encourage more people to follow her sacrificial example. Today, more than $2 billion has been donated by Southern Baptist churches and individuals through this offering.

Women on Mission will meet next on Thursday, March 7th at 1:00 pm in Grace classroom. All ladies are invited to join.
