Thanks to America for Christ (AFC) offering contributions, American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) supported communities distressed by the devastation of COVID-19 last year as the pandemic swept our country and Puerto Rico. We also helped families who lost homes to floods, wildfires, and storms, children living on the edge because of poverty, and seminarians preparing to devote their lives to sharing the Good News. These are just a few ways we minister to those in need; there are many more. Received in March.

One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) supports disaster relief, ministries to displaced persons, and development projects of the American Baptist Churches and its partners. Received in June.

During the World Mission Offering (WMO) each September and October, your church has the opportunity to join the transformational work God is doing around the world through International Ministries’ 120+ global servants and 250+ global partners. God can use your participation not only to change lives internationally but also to deepen your discipleship in Christ. You can participate in what the Holy Spirit is doing to bring God’s kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.”

The Retired Ministers & Missionaries Offering (RMMO) is administered by the M & M Board to provide emergency relief and a “thank you” check to retired ministers and missionaries (Received in December)
