Thank You Southern Baptists.....

Thank you Southern Baptists for your support of the 2009 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. The final report is that the total reached $148,984,819.41, the third largest offering in the history of the LMCO. The total is short of the goal of $175 million, but it is $7.6 million above the 2008 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. More than $4 million of the $7.6 million increase came from a special offering last summer which allowed the IMB to send the missionaries who were delayed for appointment because of financial shortfalls. All of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is used to send and support missionaries. We are grateful, especially for those who gave sacrificially in difficult economic times. Special thanks to the Women's Missionary Union for their faithful promotion of international missions and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
