3 Why should we give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering? Matthew 22:36-39 May I have a heart that refuses to give to the Lord a sacrifice that costs me nothing, said a missionary among Central Asian peoples. No less than all our heart, soul and mind is what s required of us as believers. Missionaries commit their lives. Will we support them with our dollars? The world s population is now 7 billion, and more than half live among people groups still considered unreached, some having absolutely no Gospel sharing going on. So no longer can this be your average give-a-few-bucks-on-sunday-morning, pray-every-now-and-then kind of challenge. This is giving your everything, all you have so that people can know the love of Jesus. That s what being totally His requires: pouring ourselves out completely to be His heart, hands and voice individually, as a church, as Southern Baptists working cooperatively to reach all the nations. Remember, every penny given to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goes directly to support missionaries and their ministries. It s an investment with eternal impact! Here are tools you will find in this guide to help you lead your offering promotion: What s on the DVD?... inside front cover Why should we give to LMCO?... page 1 Using the DVD and Web resources...pages 2-3 More key resources... page 4 Week of Prayer...pages 5-7 Why give?... page 8 How your church funds missions through the SBC... inside back cover imb.org/missionleader (800) Lottie Moon Christmas Offering National Goal: $175 million 1

MAIN FEATURES: Totally His Set the stage for your Lottie Moon season of giving with this feature. Use it to remind your audience that we are called to be totally His as individuals, as a church, all His. What s in your well? IMB President Tom Elliff reminds us that thirsty people around the globe need the Living Water. Challenge people to give from the wellspring of their hearts. We are the hands (music video) Totally His in a music and video tapestry. Play it in your lobby for passersby, during worship service interludes or to kick-start missions night. 2 Why should we not prove that we are really in earnest in claiming to be followers of him who, though he was rich, for our sake became poor? Lottie Moon, missionary to China, imb.org/lottie
5 MISSIONARY STORIES: Because you gave Show one a week leading up to your offering to show the results of giving. A pulpit point of view Pastor Ryan Pack of First Baptist, Hendersonville, N.C., says it s important for eternity to support our workers through the Lottie Moon offering. Working together is biblical, and he s seen results firsthand. Pouring out life Scott and Alyssa Branding (names changed) are working to reach 2.5 million Burmese living in Thailand. The Brandings are grateful that Southern Baptists are part of this work through their giving. What is the value of one soul? Alex Garcia, serving among ethnics in London, is grateful for your giving that allows him to help people from all over the world fall in love with Jesus. Salvation to the least of these Troy Lewis has seen a lot of death from AIDS in Zambia. But he also sees a difference in the lives he s able to touch, thanks to the Lottie Moon offering.

8 Day 3: An unlikely partnership Send a hearing church with zero experience with the Deaf to share Jesus with a Deaf unengaged, unreached people group a fool s errand? Not at all! Day 4: A matter of a tithe Little in life in the Andes predicted Cebrián Bolívar (name changed) would one day become a missionary in one of South Asia s most populated cities. It was a matter of a tithe. Day 5: Living among them The Scotland tour bus doesn t stop in Gena s neighborhood of concrete buildings and dirty streets. It s where God called her to take Jesus. And cancer hasn t stopped her. Day 6: Closer than they seem Valley Baptist of Bakersfield is committed to reaching the Mixteco in southern Mexico and the 700 Mixteco immigrants living in their California neighborhood. 6 Go to imb.org/weekofprayer to find short stories as well as full features including photos, video and multimedia packages for each day of Week of Prayer.

10 Why give? Southern Baptists faithful giving undergirds the thousands of missionaries sent from our churches, through IMB, and all for a single, eternal purpose: making disciples in the name of Jesus. This is what it means for all of us, together, to be totally His. Here are some numbers to celebrate! In a recent year, the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and Cooperative Program enabled missionaries and their national partners to: present the Gospel to more than 1,400,000 individuals baptize more than 266,000 new believers start more than 24,000 churches engage 133 new people groups More exciting news some people groups are reaching their own and others! 141 people groups are engaging their own people inside their country 153 people groups are going to other peoples inside their country 41 people groups are going outside their country We have every reason to rejoice. But these statistics also show how much more could be accomplished if more were given! More missionaries sent from our churches to partner with more nationals, more people groups engaging others more lives for the kingdom. We still face this challenge: Out of the world s 11,000-plus people groups, nearly 7,000 are considered yet unreached; they include more than half the world s population. More than 3,000 unreached people groups are unengaged, having no church-planting strategy at all. (The figures above are taken from the 2012 Annual Statistical Report; data as of 12/31/11. For up-to-date statistics, go to public.imb.org/globalresearch.) 8 Learn more about how your gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering are an investment with eternal impact.

It provides 30 percent of IMB s total income. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering provides the largest portion of IMB s income 54 percent and gives Southern Baptists a chance to support their missionaries through 100 percent of their gifts. Hunger and relief funds,* field-generated funds, investment returns and other income constitute 16 percent of IMB s income. *100 percent of your giving through Global Hunger Relief (World Hunger Fund) brings both life-giving nourishment and a hope in Jesus Christ to those without Him. As of April 2013, 4,867 missionaries were under appointment. The 2013 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goal is $175 million. It s based on real needs as together we work to reach those who don t know our Lord. Consider setting your goal based on the average cost to support an individual missionary: $51,000 a year (average) $4,250 a month $981 a week $140 a day (Reported May Support includes housing, salary, children s education, medical expenses, retirement and more.)
