Dear Friend,

As we complete the Week of Prayer and move into this new season of giving, I want to thank you for standing with us. Your prayers, your heart for the nations, and your faithfulness mean more than you know.

Today, we officially launch our 2025 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering campaign—a yearly effort that has fueled the spread of the gospel for generations.

This offering is not just a Southern Baptist tradition.
It is the backbone of sending IMB missionaries.
It is the reason the unreached hear the gospel.
It is how churches are planted where none existed before.
And it is how people who have never heard the name of Jesus finally hear it for the very first time.

59% of the world's population has no meaningful access to the gospel. Many live in places where no Christian witness exists—no neighbor, no pastor, no church. But thanks to your generosity, that’s changing—one relationship at a time.
One of our field teams recently shared:

"A team of young adults from Georgia arrived in Central Asia eager to share the gospel, only to learn that in this culture, the good news must first be seen before it is spoken. As they hiked, laughed, and shared meals with local college students, trust slowly formed — and when it did, doors opened. One woman pulled a team member aside in an old church and asked to hear the whole story of Jesus; another student told a teammate, after days of friendship, that he was finally ready to talk about faith. Lives were changed simply because these young believers were present, patient, and intentional."

This is why we go.
This is why we send.
This is why your gift to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering matters.

I want to say this in a simple way: Your gift keeps missionaries on the field long enough to share the gospel clearly, faithfully, and in the language of the people they serve.

Your generosity provides:

• A home in a city with no churches
• Language training to communicate the gospel clearly
• Visas and travel to reach difficult places
• Health and safety support for missionary families
• Ministry tools that open doors to gospel conversations

We are seeking to raise $1,400,000 by December 31, 2025. We cannot reach this goal without you.

Here’s what your gift can do:

• $250 = Keeps a missionary in the field for one day
• $1,750 = Keeps a missionary in the field for one week
• $7,500= Keeps a missionary in the field for one month
• $91,250= Keeps a missionary in the field for one year

Every single day matters because every day is another opportunity for someone to hear the gospel.

Will you help launch this year’s offering?

Your gift goes 100% to the mission field—directly to the places where the gospel is not yet known.

Thank you for praying, for giving, and for caring about those who have never heard.

In Christ,
