Lottie Moon Christmas Offering & Week of Prayer Begins Soon
Praying for our international missionaries.
The Lottie Moon Week of Prayer begins on Sunday, November 30.
Each year, the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering Week of Prayer helps us refocus our hearts on God’s global mission. As we begin this special week, we join with churches across the nation to pray for the missionaries who serve through the International Mission Board (IMB)—men and women who share the hope of Jesus in places many of us will never go.
Gets your kids or grandkids involved!
This week is a wonderful opportunity to involve the next generation:
As we pray, learn, and give, we’re helping children and teens understand that they are part of God’s great story—sharing His love to the ends of the earth.
- Pray together as a family each day for a featured missionary.
- Find the country on a map and learn about the people who live there.
- Read stories or watch IMB videos that show how lives are being changed by the gospel.
- Give together to the Lottie Moon Offering—let children contribute a small gift or earn money through acts of kindness.
As we pray, learn, and give, we’re helping children and teens understand that they are part of God’s great story—sharing His love to the ends of the earth.
