What is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering?

SINCE 1918

• Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world's greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence.​
• She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®.
• The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® is a registered trademark of Woman's Missionary Union.
