November 1, 2021 | Georgia
Georgia Baptists have sent more than $30.4 million to the Southern Baptist Convention over the past year to get the gospel to the nations.
“This shows just how committed Georgia Baptists are to the cause of Christ,” said David Melber, chief operating officer for the Georgia Baptist Mission Board. “Our churches and our people have given sacrificially to make sure everyone has an opportunity to hear the gospel.”
The total given between October 1 and September 30 for use outside the state of Georgia was $30,462,390. That includes $15,430,284 through the Cooperative Program, $9,698,461 to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, and $5,333,645 to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.
“You have to keep in mind that the world was in the throes of a pandemic throughout this reporting period,” Melber said. “In such a time, with people around the world dying from COVID-19, our churches could see just how urgently the world needs Jesus, and they responded with this incredible show of generosity.”..
