The Acts 1:8 Offering
Since its inception in March, 2007, Acts 1:8 funds have supported: Grand Lake Community Church, three FBC mission trips to Suriname, and two to Nepal. FBC will write a check to the IMB for over $55,000 this year as a result of our 2007 "Acts 1:8" during December will be distributed according to the "Acts 1:8" funding formula - about 50% to Lottie Moon, and 50% for other local/international missions projects.
To give a special missions offering above and beyond your regular tithe, simply mark "Acts 1:8", "Lottie Moon" or "Annie Armstrong" on the memo line of your check made payable to FBCMB.

Annie Armstrong Offering
There are currently 5,000 North American Mission Board missionaries serving throughout the United States, Canada, and their territories.
Through gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering®, these missions personnel are enabled to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Because every dollar given to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering® goes directly to support missionaries and their ministries, Southern Baptists are confident offering gifts are an investment in eternity.
To give a special missions offering above and beyond your regular tithe, simply mark "Acts 1:8", "Lottie Moon", or "Annie Armstrong" on the memo line of your check made payable to FBCMB.

Lottie Moon Offering
Who was Lottie Moon?
 Lottie Moon - the namesake of the international missions offering - has become something of a legend to us. But in her time Lottie was anything but an untouchable hero. In fact, she was like today's missionaries. She was a hard-working, deep-loving Southern Baptist who labored tirelessly so her people group could know Jesus.
Why was the offering named for this early China missionary? Throughout her career, Lottie Moon wrote numerous letters home, urging Southern Baptists to greater missions involvement and support. One of those letters triggered Southern Baptists' first Christmas offering for international missions - enough to send three new missionaries to China.
Today, Lottie Moon offering gifts support the 5,200 Southern Baptist missionaries in countries all over the world.
Lottie Moon offerings go 100% towards salaries and special projects for our IMB missionaries like Charles & Brittany Shirey, Bo & Summer Alexander, and James and Suzie Rivers. FBC has had yearly goals for the Lottie Moon Offering, increasing from $20,000 in 2000 to over $55,000 in 2006. Most Lottie Moon gifts are given in December as a special “Christmas gift” to the Lord.
Who will get your “biggest gift” during the next Christmas season?
