The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (AAEO) is the primary way we support mission efforts in North America. One hundred percent of gifts given to AAEO are used to support Southern Baptist missionaries serving across the United States and Canada. The North American Mission Board (NAMB) serves a population of 366 million people (an estimated 275 million are lost) who speak 350 languages. NAMB supports more than 2000 missionaries in the United States, Canada and U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa.
Association Churches Urged to Give Used Literature to Love PackagesLove Packages is a ministry in Butler, IL which collects Christian literature and ships it to English-speaking countries around the world. In 2018 they shipped 1,592 tons (3,184,000 pounds) of literature to countries like the Philippines, South Africa, and Ghana. It is estimated that every piece of literature on the mission field will have an average of 20 reads. We can help by collecting our used Sunday School literature, magazines, books (non-fiction), Bibles, tracts, devotionals, etc. Giving Hope Ministries in Kirksville will come to your church and collect the materials that you collect. Call 660-216-4183 for pickup. This won't cost you anything and is a great way to recycle materials for the Kingdom! You can learn more about Love Packages at https://lovepackages.org/

Link to the Association Regional WMU2020 ReportWith much anticipation for 2020, we looked forward to the year in regard to the opportunities that lay ahead for our association in the areas of missions and evangelism; however, as the e!ects of the COV-19 pandemic arose, our opportunities to engage in missions and evangelism declined. Unfortunately, our plans for mission trips and evangelistic outreach were all cancelled or postpone until next year. In the coming year, we will revisit the missed opportunities. We will reinvestigate our mission trips to Alaska and Wisconsin while reengaging in evangelism opportunities, like our evangelistic outreach to participants of the State Fair. We will continue to extend our missions and evangelism e!orts in church planting in the coming year.
