Dec. 17, 2014 LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING
 VIDEO: Missionaries say thank you!
Thanks to your gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, missionaries serving all over Europe are able to live among peoples who desperately need to hear the gospel. You are a part of God's story through your prayers and your support of the task of reaching all nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
See videos of your missionaries saying thanks in Asia and in sub-Saharan Africa.  Photo essay: Tending the fire
Mitch Englehart and his wife, Nellie (names changed), have spent the last nine years training church leaders. They’ve seen more than 1,200 new churches and more than 3,000 baptisms in the last five years alone. But there’s still plenty of work to be done.

PRAY
 No victory for cancer
Want to know the power of your prayers for Gena Wilson, who was featured in the 2013 Week of Prayer? Last year, she was recovering from her second journey with cancer, a recurrence of the Non-Hodgkin lymphoma that she faced in 2011. Last month, she walked the New York City marathon, and her vision for reaching the lost of Glasgow, Scotland, has never been clearer.
 WorldView: Jesus in disguise
On the first Christmas, God willingly entered enemy territory disguised as a helpless child. Have you encountered the Lord in disguise?
GO
 California church dedicated to reach Mixteco with gospel

 The Creed: His glory their reward
Gwen Noonan found exciting ways to serve the Lord through Fusion — and learned about Karen Watson, one of four Southern Baptist relief workers killed by unknown gunmen in Iraq in 2004. Karen’s words and life inspired the Fusion Creed.
