year we take an offering "Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American

by the North American Mission Board to use in reaching people in North
America for Christ. |
The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering...
Each year, we honor the life and work of Annie Walker Armstrong (1850-1938)
when we give to the annual offering for home missions named after her. As a
tireless servant of God and a contagious advocate and supporter of mission
effort through the world, Annie Armstrong led women to unite in mission
endeavors that ultimately led to the formation of Woman's Missionary Union,
for which she served as the first corresponding secretary. |

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International
Missions is promoted during the Week of Prayer for International Missions
and throughout the month of December.
Each year, during the month December, we take an offering "Lottie Moon
Christmas Offering for International Missions." Lottie Moon was
a heroine for today - a woman passionate about a lost world, a woman who
didn't hesitate to speak her mind. For 39 years she labored, chiefly in
Tengchow and P'ingto China and didn't just serve the people of China; she
identified with them. Lottie Moon, December 12, 1840-December 24,1912. |
