ANNIE ARMSTRONG EASTER OFFERING
The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions is the primary way that Southern Baptists work together to impact our country. Our U.S. mission force faces the challenge of taking the Gospel to 366 million people where spiritual and cultural divides are deep and growing. This offering supports the planting of Gospel preaching churches across our country and sharing the love of Jesus Christ. Please consider supporting North American missions through this offering.
