NAMB Week of Prayer

Sunday, March 2, through Sunday, March 9, is the Week of Prayer for North American Missions. There is Prayer Guide and corresponding video (below) for each day of the week. They each have a specific emphasis and story about North American Missions, the work being done through the North American Mission Board, and it's importance.  Every year, SBC churches observe the Week of Prayer for North American missions by praying for missionaries, their ministries and their families. Because these missionaries make Jesus known in places all over North America, where there’s little or no gospel witness, they experience opposition and they battle loneliness and discouragement. That’s why they need your prayers.

Who was Annie Armstrong? (1850-1938)

Annie was born in Baltimore at a time when there was little opportunity for women. Yet, her devotion to Christ led her to a life of service and leadership. She organized women to pray, to give and to meet the needs around them. She challenged pastors and churches to action and rallied vital support for missionaries. Ultimately, Annie was recognized as a national Southern Baptist trailblazer for her visionary leadership that still inspires millions today.
