Lottie Moon

Who is Lottie Moon?
Lottie Moon - the namesake of the international missions offering - has become something of a legend to us. But in her time Lottie was anything but an untouchable hero. In fact, she was like today’s missionaries. She was a hard-working, deep-loving Southern Baptist who labored tirelessly so her people group could know Jesus.

Why was the offering named for this early China missionary?
Throughout her career, Lottie Moon wrote numerous letters home, urging Southern Baptists to greater missions involvement and support. One of those letters triggered Southern Baptists’ first Christmas offering for international missions - enough to send three new missionaries to China. To read Lottie’s letters, click

The IMB’s goal for the 2007 offering is $165 million. FBC Cary’s goal is $101,000. As of December 23, we have received approximately $65,885.18.
