During the 2014 annual meeting of the Alabama Baptist State Convention, The Alabama Baptist handed out dollar bills at its display booth at Lakeside Baptist Church, Birmingham, on Nov. 11–12. Messengers were challenged to “Be a Blessing” — to take a dollar and touch a life. Below are personal stories of how the dollars were used to bless someone’s life. Share your story with us.

I invested the dollar by giving it to a person who distributed gospel tracts to buy more tracts. This was a blessing!”

I decided to give my dollar to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (LMCO). Let me explain. We were already going to make a gift to the LMCO — always have, always will. What if every Southern Baptist gave one more dollar than they were going to give? That would be about $10,000,000 more to international missions to reach a lost world. I also plan to challenge lots of other Southern Baptists to give one more dollar this year to Lottie Moon.”

I was anticipating finding someone to share my dollar with. The Lord opened my eyes to a developmentally challenged person I had seen before. I shared that dollar and some others with him with a brief gospel witness. Thank you.”

The lady who cleaned our motel room spoke very little English. [My wife] and I shared our dollars and a few more with her. We trust our ‘tip’ was a witness to her of Jesus’ love.”

I gave my dollar back to The Alabama Baptist for all the many blessings they give to me with each issue. I could not think of a more fitting way to use it.”
