The next day we returned to the camp to continue our work. As we drove towards the entrance, we could see how the black, burned path of the fire had missed the camp by just a few yards. Please pray for the Baptist community in Baja California, Mexico, as they faithfully respond to God's call to be a light for others. Please pray for the work of our missionaries and partner churches around the world as they seek to Change Our World, that God's kingdom may come, that God's will may be done, on earth as it is in heaven. The world mission offering each year provides the largest single source of new mission income for American Baptist International Ministries.
Every dollar given to the offering goes directly to support mission overseas.
Overhead costs for the offering are covered by International Ministries' general operating budget and are kept at eight percent or less. Gifts to the offering support Baptist work in more than 70 countries worldwide. Most churches promote and receive the offering during the months of September and October. That brings to 60 the number of new missionaries appointed since March 1, 1997. These people have been called by God to help Change Our World, that God's may be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
