Lottie Moon Update
Posted by Rick on December 31, 2007
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering supports missionaries through the International Mission Board. Our church goal for 2007 is $750 and our Hallelujah Goal for 2007 is $1000. I am please to announce that we have surpassed our Hallelujah Goal! As of this morning, we have now raised $1181 for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering!
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering provides support in the form of insurance, travel expenses, rent, office equipment, supplies, etc for international missionaries. Having been the recipient of Lottie Moon funds, I can definitely say that your gifts are greatly appreciated by missionaries all over the world.
I encourage you to begin a savings program for the 2008 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. I remember when I was a little boy, my mother was a member of a bank’s Christmas Club. Each month, she would take $10 and put it into the account, then when Christmas time came, she had $100 or so to spend on Christmas presents. Why can’t we do the same with the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering? After all, it is much more important than Christmas presents, right? There is no reason that we can’t double our church’s goal for next year if we all plan for it!
Take a moment and pray for direction for what God may have you to give next year.

Dear Brother Rick,
As a former Okie now serving with the IMB in Croatia, I just wanted to give a word of thanks for your efforts at promoting the Lottie Moon Christmas offering AND at promoting missions in your church. Your work has done my heart good this morning on the other side of the “pond” and I am encouraged by my brothers and sisters in Wagoner who have more than met their giving goal. Please give our thanks to your church family.
In His Love,
Trey Atkins
