This week is the annual Week of Prayer for International Missions!

In 1887, Lottie Moon published a letter to American churches urging them to take up a holiday offering for missions work in China, where she was serving. Her idea may never have gotten off the ground, however, if it hadn't been for her friend and colleague .

In 1888, Annie handwrote 1,000 letters urging Southern Baptists to give toward this effort. The first offering raised $3,313.25, which was enough money to send three new missionaries to assist Lottie with her work in China.

For years, that offering was known as the "The Christmas Offering for China." Eventually, the proceeds expanded beyond China, and in 1918, six years after Lottie's death, it was Annie who suggested the offering be named in Lottie's honor. That offering is now known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

Every December, our SBC family celebrates the Week of Prayer for International Missions by praying for provision and protection as our missionaries carry out their critical kingdom work. Will you join us in praying for them?

Today, we celebrate the remarkable life of Annie Armstrong, a missions leader whose legacy continues to inspire us!

Annie Armstrong, born on July 11, 1850, in Baltimore, Maryland, dedicated her life to serving others in her own community and motivating SBC women and churches to support missions efforts across North America and the world.

Annie's advocacy and leadership as the first executive director of Woman's Mission Union helped fuel church plants in remote areas, supported missionaries in their work, and encouraged thousands to join the mission of spreading the gospel through praying, giving and participating.

Today, Annie Armstrong's legacy challenges us to step out of our comfort zones and pursue a life focused on mission.

Happy Birthday, Annie Armstrong! Your passion for missions and unwavering faith continue to inspire generations. May we all be motivated to live boldly for the kingdom, just as you did. Let's honor her memory by committing ourselves afresh to the mission of bringing the hope of Jesus to the world!

Today’s prayer prompt comes from December Mission Mosaic’s Prayer Patterns: As we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus and the salvation His life and death made way for, Christians all over the world rejoice that intimacy with God is available. Pray missionaries around the world would know a special closeness with God this season and use the Christmas story to share with the lost how they, too, can experience intimacy with God. Because of God’s gift to us, no matter what’s happening, our days can be merry and bright with the joy of His presence.
