Our Giving

(Temple 12/16/2018) We’re seeing the Lord through the eyes of Isaiah. We’re seeing the Lord who fulfills the predictions of the prophets concerning the Messiah, who would establish a kingdom that would last forever. In our quest we find priceless jewels of faith in the blessed chest of Holy Scriptures.

Isaiah 9:6 AV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The 2018 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is underway. I am excited, in my first Lottie Moon season as IMB President, to place a challenge before you and your churches: Let's make this the biggest Lottie Moon Christmas Offering in history! When you and your church give through LMCO, you are a part of reaching the unreached in every nation. In fact, through Southern Baptist giving to LMCO just last year, we've seen God do amazing things:
The ninth chapter of Isaiah began with a prophecy of people walking in darkness seeing a great Light. We live in a world of people who walk in darkness today. They do not see the Light. Yet the Light is all around them if they would just look with eyes of faith.

The Father Has Given to Us.

This year, let's once again make LMCO a priority in our churches and, by God's grace, see those numbers rise exponentially. In the slums and cities, in the jungles and on the plains, in the provinces and on the plateaus, there are billions waiting to be reached, and the Lord of the harvest has called us to the fields. To the fields we must go. Let's go!

Dr. Paul Chitwood, our new President of the IMB, sent us this word of encouragement:
When you and your church give through LMCO, you are a part of reaching the unreached in every nation. In fact, through Southern Baptist giving to LMCO just last year, we've seen God do amazing things:
• 1,623,410 people heard the gospel
• 87,287 new believers came to faith in Christ
• 12,883 new pastors were trained
This year, let's once again make LMCO a priority in our churches and, by God's grace, see those numbers rise exponentially. In the slums and cities, in the jungles and on the plains, in the provinces and on the plateaus, there are billions waiting to be reached, and the Lord of the harvest has called us to the fields. To the fields we must go. Let's go!
Because God gave, the giving goes on and on and on. An appropriate Christmas verse is
