Up for the
Challenge!
I have great news, church family! Our International
Mission Board (IMB) informs us that our 2014 Lottie
Moon Christmas Offering amount met the fourth and
highest giving milestone recognized by the IMB! The
IMB’s Associate Vice President for Development,
David Clippard, writes, The Headland First Baptist
Church family gave at a level called the ‘Manchuria
Challenge,’ which recognizes churches that gave $100
and up per capita based on the average Sunday
morning attendance. The 943 churches that met the
‘Manchuria Challenge’ represent 2 percent of the
50,000 churches that comprise the Southern Baptist
Convention. This group of churches gave over $36
million, or 24 percent of the 2014 LMCO. To God be
the glory great things He has done through His people!
You may remember that Lottie Moon died on
Christmas Eve, 1914, on a ship named the Manchuria.
Weighing only 50 pounds, she was carried aboard to
return to America to be nursed back to health. She had
given everything, including her own food, to her
beloved Chinese people. Lottie Moon’s spirit lives in
our missionaries today who have given up much to be
our representatives to the unreached peoples of the
world! May her spirit and sacrifice inspire us to meet
the “Manchuria Challenge” again this year to support
these choice missionaries!
This Sunday, November 29th, begins our Week of
Prayer for International Missions. Praying prepares
our hearts to give sacrificially and generously to the
2015 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering the following
week. Missionaries Tim and Charlotte Cearley from
Sub-Saharan Africa will be our guests for this
Sunday’s morning service and for the special evening
service and fellowship time to follow. Don’t miss this
great Sunday! You will thoroughly enjoy the Cearleys
and the accounts they will share of God’s powerful
work on the mission field.
See you Sunday!
