September Focus: Indiana State Mission Offering

In September, our emphasis is the State Mission Offering. You might ask why we need a State Mission Offering. There are 5 uses for this offering. Two of them are on the top of my list. The first is for disaster relief. Disaster Relief will train, credential, and prepare brothers and sisters in Christ to actively respond to the needs of those affected by the natural and man-made crisis. We support their volunteer efforts by providing administrative, organizational, and other resources necessary to make their endeavors successful. Your giving allows DR to meet the needs of hurting humanity — physically, mentally, and spiritually. Not only do Indiana volunteers serve by going to other states, there are other states that come to serve within Indiana, especially in light of the recent flooding. The second is church planting. While we value our partnership with the SEND Network Indiana team, we also look at ways to support church planters in creative ways. It might be providing an extra year of residency for a planter to gain experience, or it could be to assist a planter’s family in times of need. Your giving to the SMO boosts our support of new churches and pastors to reach new people for Jesus. This year the State Missions Offering is in honor of Dave Wilson because his story reflects why this offering exists and how God has worked through our churches. Saved later in life at a Billy Graham Crusade in 1997, Dave redirected the skills from his earlier career into a life of radical obedience. He served in Disaster Relief, chaplain ministry, theological and evangelism training, leading Highland Lakes Baptist Camp, and ultimately serving as a missionary in Ecuador, where he helped plant a church and trained believers to share the gospel. Please prayerfully consider your giving as we work to reach a goal of$1,500 for the State Missions Offering from HBC.
