Margaret Lackey Offering for State Missions
Ever since Margaret Lackey pioneered this state missions effort, Mississippi Baptists have carried the Gospel into every corner of our state and far beyond. Today, your gifts to the Margaret Lackey State Offering support ministries that cross cultures, generations, language gaps, and even prison bars. Because you give, lives are being changed and the light of Christ is shining in dark places.
Our goal this year is $1,300. We have placed Prayer Guides and donation envelopes in the Bulletin and have also provided some on the hallway tables.
