What is the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering?
The offering was started in 1895 by Woman’s Missionary Union® (WMU) to benefit the work of the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board). In 1934, it was named in honor of Annie Armstrong, a bold missions advocate and WMU’s first national executive leader. Today, more than $2 billion has been donated by Southern Baptist churches and individuals.
How are the gifts used?
Every dollar given goes to train and resource more than 3,000 missionaries and their families involved in church planting and compassion ministries who share the life-transforming gospel of Jesus Christ across the United States, Canada and their territories.

The scripture verse is 3 John 1:7-8, “For they have gone out for the sake of the name… Therefore, we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.”
