For Alabama Baptists the Christmas season would not be complete without participating in the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for Internal Missions. This time of year also finds many churches focusing on the native Alabamians who serve as international missionaries around the world.
To help celebrate the Lottie Moon season, The Alabama Baptist is providing a photo directory of International Mission Board (IMB) missionaries who have ties to Alabama.
While the Week of Prayer for International Missions ends Dec. 7, the state Baptist paper hopes this resource can be used as a prayer guide now and throughout the year.
The names and photos of missionaries were provided by IMB personnel.
Alabama currently has 119 of these missionaries who are not pictured or listed in this directory because of security concerns. They either live or work in an area that puts them at risk for possible dangerous circumstances.
Some of these could be working in areas the IMB calls the “last frontier.”
Also known as the 10/40 window, this area consists of some of the least evangelized countries in the world and some of the hardest to work in. Located between 10 degrees and 40 degrees north of the equator, it stretches from North Africa to China (see story, page 9). Please pray for that group of Southern Baptist workers also.
The missionaries on the following pages are listed by country and region. A locator map is provided for each area. While the information was provided to The Alabama Baptist in November, names and locations do change frequently so some of the information could be slightly out-of-date.
