Greeting from Wes Fowler
Writing from prison, Paul thanks believers in Philippi for meeting his physical needs. Even more important is the Philippians’ eagerness to be partners with Paul, both in his imprisonment and in the defense of the gospel (Phil. 1:7).
Paul wants to maintain Christian unity, and he thanks God for every memory of his Philippian brothers and sisters because of their “partnership in the gospel from the first day until now” (Phil. 1:5). He expresses confidence that the Lord, who started a good work in the Philippian church, will carry it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Like Christians in Philippi, Missouri Baptists have the privilege of being partners in the gospel with one another by contributing to God’s work across our state.
The Rheubin L. South Missouri Missions Offering (MMO) supports more than two dozen ministries – and more than 40 missions projects. These include Christian foster care, disaster relief, prison ministry, and other mission projects that advance the gospel. Check out the Allocations Budget, How MMO Supports Associations, and Where Your Gifts Go in the pages ahead to learn more. Then, place your order for promotional resources.
All materials listed in this packet are provided free of charge – whether you download or order them from the MBC. Our goal this year is $825,000, and our Week of Prayer is September 13-20. Prayerfully consider how your church can share Christ’s blessings through your generous gifts to MMO.
