Christmas in August – BC2 will be participating in Christmas in August for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Last year the fund was $29,000,000 short. This has prevented approximately 700 missionaries from being sent overseas.
Jerry Rankin, President of the International Mission Board made the following Statement: “The money will be used to send missionaries called and qualified to go who we would not be able to send and support this year without these gifts.” Rankin emphasized that this is not just about the number of missionaries and meeting the needs of IMB. “God is moving in amazing ways through global events to reach a lost world,” he said. “The opportunities are unprecedented to impact lostness and engage unreached people groups. We are seeing record baptisms and church growth, and God is calling missionaries to join Him in His work around the world. This will help us to more effectively respond in reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Please pray about how the Lord would have you give sacrificially to this special offering.
