Hello, BRN Family! It’s great to be with you today!

The Week of Prayer for North American Missions is annually observed by SBC churches to pray for North American missionaries, their ministries and their families, and to take up the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for their support. This year, the official date for the Week of Prayer is March 2-9, but your church can choose this date or another time during the Easter season to participate.

I urge you to go to anniearmstrong.com to hear the stories of this year’s featured missionaries in areas underrepresented by Christians, such as: Provo, Utah; Flint, Michigan; Langley, British Columbia; on the border in Laredo, Texas; all across Wyoming; and even outside the Marine Corps Base in Camp Lejeune, N.C.

I urge you to pray for all our North American missionaries and challenge your church to give and support their work through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering are used to train and resource missionaries in church planting and compassion ministries. Gifts are also used to create evangelism resources.

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering is the primary way Southern Baptists fund missions in North America. One hundred percent of gifts given to AAEO go to the field to support more than 3,000 missionary families serving across the United States and Canada.

Because you give, new churches are being planted, hurts are being healed, and lives are being transformed by the gospel. Want to give right away? Visit online at brnunited.org/annie. Thank you!

Thanks for listening in today, and may God bless you.
