Ways to use these stories

  • These stories will help your church understand how their giving is used to support missionaries and to reach the lost.
  • Share them with the Children's, Student's, Adult and Missions Leaders in your church. Search by age group to find age appropriate stories, videos, photos and handouts. Use them during Sunday School, missions group meetings, home Bible studies or whenever you talk about missions.
  • Use them as a part of sermons or missions emphasis.
  • Set a Lottie Moon giving goal based on a missionary dollar need featured in one of the stories. For small dollar items, consider increasing your giving based on multiple units of an item used by a missionary (for example, $25/day for meals x 12 days = $300). Display your giving goal with a bulletin insert of the story, plus its photos and map. Track giving toward your goal each week and include that as part of your display.
