What is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering?

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® is an annual offering collected by believers around the world to support international missions. The offering was officially named in 1918 by Woman’s Missionary Union in honor of the missionary to China who urged churches to start it and give sacrificially.

This offering is unique from other mission offerings in that 100% of gifts provide for missionaries all over the world. It is a valuable part of Southern Baptists’ 175-year history of reaching the nations with the gospel and vital to reaching the vision of a multitude from every language, people, tribe and nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 7:9).

YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES IT POSSIBLE.

All of the proceeds from the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering go toward supporting missionaries, from entry through exit to partnership.

Week of Prayer

November 29 - December 6, 2020

The Week of Prayer for International Missions is an opportunity for churches to join in prayer for the work of missionaries who take the gospel to people in cities and extreme places. It’s also a time to reflect on giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® that supports them.

Day 1

The Naivasha Children's Shelter in Naivasha, Kenya provides a safe place for boys who would otherwise be living on the dangerous streets. The shelter workers seek to reunite them with their families.

Day 2

In an area of Croatia with 250,000 and only one Baptist Church, Eric Maroney works with a team to broadcast an evangelistic program, which airs twice a week and reaches more than 40,000 people.

Day 3

Doug Derbyshire has been faithfully visiting Baan Po as a medical missionary for the last six years. After trying every evangelism technique he knew, there was still no church in Baan Po. His last visit in January 2020 sparked new hope as three patients made decisions of faith.

Day 4

Farmers harvest fish from a pond built to provide a sustainable livelihood for 11 indigenous missionary families. IMB missionary Joe Brewster and his team partner with indigenous missionaries in Peru to engage unreached tribes with the gospel.

Day 5

Throughout their 175-year history, Southern Baptists have maintained an uninterrupted witness among the nations, in spite of famine, war and civil unrest. This commitment has not come without sacrifice.

Day 6

Working alongside Italian and US partners, the Worthys bring the gospel to areas of Italy with little to no evangelical witness by strategically placing partnering groups in areas of Italy where churches do not exist.

Day 7

For 20 years, the IMB worked to maintain a gospel presence among the Khaleela, a Muslim people group in South Asia. After years of setbacks, Luciano and Sofia Serrano moved to the region and are now discipling a woman from the Khaleela who decided to follow Christ

Day 8

IMB missionaries say thank you to Southern Baptists who give generously so that the gospel spreads to all nations.
