Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
Lottie Moon in her Own Words
The Legacy of Lottie’s Letters In 1873, Lottie Moon was appointed as a missionary to China. She spent nearly 40 years sharing the gospel with love, courage, and unwavering faith. Her letters home inspired churches to pray and give, leading to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. Today, this offering supports mis - sionaries and helps take the life-transforming message of Jesus to the nations. Let’s honor her legacy by praying and giving so others can hear the hope of the gospel. Facts for Southern Baptists to Ponder. In the vast continent of Africa, we have one white missionary & one colored. In Japan we have - not one. In Burmah, Siam, India, the isles of the ocean, - not one. In China we have at present eight missionaries. Putting the population of China at four hundred million, this gives one missionary for fifty million people. Yet, we call ourselves Missionary Baptists. Our Lord says, “Go ye into all the world & preach the gospel to every creature.” Are we obeying this command? - L. Moon. Editor’s note: Lottie Moon wrote this letter in September 1877. All information and Photos courtesy of the International Mission Board
Together, we find the lost, give help to the hurting, share the hope of Christ, and witness God grow His Church around the world. Your generosity today changes lives.
