RICHMOND, Va. — With the books on the offering closing Sept. 30, the 2017–2018 Lottie Moon offering neared the national goal of $160 million. In the 100th anniversary since Southern Baptists named their global mission offering in honor of missionary Lottie Moon, church members gave $158.9 million to international missionaries worldwide — the second-highest Lottie Moon Christmas Offering ever received.
“We praise the Lord and thank Southern Baptist churches who have again generously demonstrated their faithfulness in undergirding the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth,” said Clyde Meador, interim president of the International Mission Board (IMB).
IMB trustees also appointed 66 new fully funded missionaries at a sending service Sept. 26 at Grove Avenue Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia. (IMB)
