Dear Friend,
As we complete the Week of Prayer and move into this new season of giving, I want to thank you for standing with us. Your prayers, your heart for the nations, and your faithfulness mean more than you know. Today, we officially launch our 2025 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering campaign—a yearly effort that has fueled the spread of the gospel for generations.
This offering is not just an IMB tradition; it is the backbone of sending missionaries. It is the reason the unreached hear the gospel. It is how churches are planted where none existed before. And it is how people who have never heard the name of Jesus finally hear it for the very first time.
59% of the world's population has no meaningful access to the gospel. Many live in places where no Christian witness exists—no neighbor, no pastor, no church. One of our field teams recently shared:
A team of young adults from Georgia arrived in Central Asia eager to share the gospel, only to learn that in this culture, the good news must first be seen before it is spoken. As they hiked, laughed, and shared meals with local college students, trust slowly formed — and when it did, doors opened. One woman pulled a team member aside in an old church and asked to hear the whole story of Jesus; another student told a teammate, after days of friendship, that he was finally ready to talk about faith. Lives were changed simply because these young believers were present, patient, and intentional.
This is why we go. This is why we send. This is why your gift to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering matters.
I want to say this in a simple way: Your gift keeps missionaries on the field long enough to share the gospel clearly, faithfully, and in the language of the people they serve. Your generosity provides a home in a city with no churches, language training to communicate the gospel clearly, visas and travel to reach difficult places, health and safety support for missionary families, and ministry tools that open doors to gospel conversations.
We are seeking to raise $1,400,000 by December 31, 2025.
We cannot reach this goal without you.
Here's what your gift can do: $250 keeps a missionary in the field for one day; $1,750 keeps a missionary in the field for one week; $7,500 keeps a missionary in the field for one month; $91,250 keeps a missionary in the field for one year.
Every single day matters because every day is another opportunity for someone to meet Jesus Christ for the first time.
Will you help launch this year's offering? Your gift goes 100% to the mission field—directly to the places where the gospel is not yet known.
Because this would be your first-ever gift to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering directly through the IMB, a generous partner has offered to match your gift dollar for dollar, which means your first gift will go twice as far to help keep missionaries on the field and share the gospel with those who have never heard it.
Will you make your first Lottie Moon Christmas Offering gift today?

Thank you for praying, for giving, and for caring about those who have never heard.
In Christ,
Paul Chitwood
IMB President
