Open Door 2008

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8

We are called to be witnesses at home, around the state, around the nation and around the world. How can we do this? By giving to the Open Door Offering. The Open Door Offering is our collective missions' offering to support local, state, national and international missions. During the months of November and December we will have the opportunity to give to this special offering. If you have never given before, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to share an offering from the blessings God has given you.

Our goal this year is $105,000. Through this offering we will contribute $30,000 to the Lottie Moon Offering to support the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board, $20,000 to the Southern Baptist Convention's Annie Armstrong Offering to support the North American Mission Board, $10,000 to support the Southern Baptist Convention's statewide missions effort, $30,000 to our continuing efforts to support the Open Baptist Church in Botswana Africa, $5,000 to support Churches Together's efforts to join churches in the US with partners in Africa, $5,000 to support United Ministries here in Sumter and $5,000 to support the Light of Hope Crisis Pregnancy Center also here in Sumter.

Please prayerfully consider how you can be a part of this effort and together we can spread the Good News from Sumter "...to the ends of the earth."
