Taken from the SBC International Mission Board (IMB) website:

“God has called His people to proclaim His name among all peoples. This is our task. But 2,161 “nations,” or people groups, live in The Last Frontier—the part of the world with little or no access to the gospel. That’s 1.7 billion people who have virtually no chance of hearing the good news of Jesus Christ.

“But God is using Southern Baptists to carry the light of Jesus to people groups in spiritual darkness across the globe. Your gift to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® for international missions helps to dispel that darkness—and to finish our God-given task of missions.“
