ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The 2017 Annie Armstrong Easter Offering is the largest in history — $59,648,377, according to Kevin Ezell, president of the North American Mission Board (NAMB). The offering for North American missions beat the previous 2007 high by $185,096.
“In 1895 the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) collected the first missions offering to benefit North American missions, then called home missions. Since that year, Southern Baptists have raised more than $1 billion through the offering named in honor of the missions advocate and WMU leader, Annie Armstrong.”
The Annie Armstrong offering funds 50 percent of NAMB’s ministry budget. Every dollar of the offering goes directly to the field in support of NAMB missionaries. (BP)
