It's the National Week of Prayer - for those Missionaries serving all around the United States. Also known as "Annie Armstrong Missions" Of which there is a special missions offering taken during Easter season - - to support ALL those missionaries within the United States.
Two other mission offerings are taken during the year - - One in the fall for Louisiana Missionaries - known as Georgia Barnette Offering; the other is Lottie Moon Mission Offering - taken during Christmas.
Let's focus on the current Mission Emphasis - - It was named for a Missionary - - Annie Armstrong. She actually founded "Southern Baptists - WMU (Women's Missionary Union).

This week most Southern Baptists churches observe "Week of Prayer" for North American Missionaries - (all around the United States). I encourage you to lift up the missionaries - - as they labor to sow seeds of the Gospel - - some far away from their family.
Sometimes - I wish I would have become a Missionary - - - Wonder where the Lord would have sent me ! But we can always serve HIM in our community!
you are a missionary. where are your pictures from the weekend?
