During the 2004 Week of Prayer for International Missions, Nov.
28-Dec. 5, Southern Baptists will focus on God’s promise of
power that transforms even the most ordinary believer into a bold
and effective witness. This year’s theme—“That All
Peoples May Know Him”—emphasizes the wave of divine
power that is drawing unprecedented numbers of Southern Baptists
into overseas service and sweeping multitudes into the Kingdom of
God.
The national goal for this year’s Lottie Moon Christmas
Offering® is $150 million—every penny of which will be used
to send missionaries and support their ministries. The
International Mission Board relies on the Lottie Moon offering
for 51 percent of its annual income.
