For the support of missionaries and their work...
Because every dollar given to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering goes to support
missionaries on the field, Southern Baptists are confident that their gift is an
investment in eternity. Our missionaries are faithful stewards of those gifts.
Since 1895, the year of the first home missions offering, more than $750 million has
been received. Southern Baptists can celebrate that in 1999, Annie offerings totaled more
than $43 million.
Because of Southern Baptists’ faithfulness in giving to the Offering, the
following ministries are made possible:
Missionary appointment support and equipping $38,188,598
| Evangelization |
$1,812,704 |
| Ministry Evangelism |
$1,171,285 |
| Church Planting |
$5,827,413 |
| Total |
$47,000,000 |
If we reach the challenge goal in 2000, Dr. Bob Reccord says the additional $8 million
would enable us to:
- Add a third strategic focus city.
- Mobilize 100,000 young people in short-term mission projects by the end of the year
2002.
- Develop flagship churches in our strategic focus cities.
- Develop television and radio spots to be used by churches and state conventions.
