2025 Offering for 2026 Missions
Statewide Goal: $800,000
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 (CSB)
Lizzie Crouch saw 25 students come to faith in Christ as she served as a camp counselor at Redemption Ranch in Lincoln County, Mo.
Missouri Baptist Disaster Relief volunteer Ann Stevenson led the incident management team that provided help, hope, and healing to Nancy Warrick, whose home was destroyed in a flood.
And Colleen and Henry Shuler led a ministry team from Southwest Baptist University to serve at Baptist Hill Assembly near Mt. Vernon, Mo., where kids are loved and hear the gospel message.
All of this – and much more – is possible because Missouri Baptists give faithfully to the Rheubin L. South Missouri Missions Offering (MMO). The annual state missions offering supports more than two dozen ministries, including Christian foster care, disaster relief, church revitalization, and other projects that help churches transform lives and communities with the gospel.
The theme of this year’s offering is drawn from Ephesians 2:10, where Paul reminds Christians: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.”
Reflecting on this passage, MBC Executive Director Wes Fowler noted, “Today, Missouri Baptists are privileged to share Christ’s blessings with others by contributing to God’s work in the hearts of people across our state.”
Last year, 672 Missouri Baptist churches supported MMO, giving a record $1,072,207, far outpacing the goal of $760,000 and shattering the previous record of $990,740 set in 2022.
