Cry, the beloved country
“We have the answer to the crisis. It’s
not funding orphanages or sending medicine. It’s sending
people to impact the crisis by bringing Jesus to people
so that lives are changed and churches are planted.”
– D. Ray Davis, IMB Missionary

True Love Waits is impacting Africa
AIDS is spreading like wildfire in Africa—mainly by
sexual contact. In response, the True Love Waits campaign
is making a difference. By encouraging men and women, boys
and girls, to abstain until entering a covenant marriage,
there is hope to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa and
spread the hope of the gospel to a dying nation instead.

Support - A message from the president
Your missionaries are reporting more than a thousand new
believers baptized every day, and last year your missionaries
began work among 146 un reached people groups, most of whom
had never heard the gospel. God is opening hearts to the
gospel as never before.
At the same time—for the first time since the Great
Depression of the
1930s—missionary candidates are being deferred because
giving has not kept pace with the number of missionaries
God is calling.
Will you prayerfully consider giving 33 percent more to
this year’s Lottie
Moon offering? If all of us do that, we’ll surpass
the $150 million
Challenge Goal and open the floodgates to send waiting missionaries
to the field.
God has blessed us with rich resources. Let’s use
those as God intended—to be a blessing to a lost world.
