America for Christ Offering 2006
Love Kindness! Share Christ with America

As a prophet to Israel, Micah asked: "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8) The prophet's voice still speaks to us today of "loving kindness." It is a resounding charge from God to ministry - ministry that meets people at their point of need and shares Christ's love.

The myriad of ministries throughout the United States and Puerto Rico that the America for Christ offering supports are illustrated by articles in Mission in America and online at the National Ministries Web site. For example:

  • Volunteers In Mission serving at home mission locations
  • Life-changing conferences for youth and adult leaders
  • Neighborhood Action Christian Centers

Many churches focus on the America for Christ Offering in February and March, but the offering may be received any time throughout the year.

The United States has been called the third largest mission field in the world*, following only China and India in numbers of unchurched people. May God continue to bless the ministries of your church in your own neighborhood as you join with American Baptist regions, National Ministries and other American Baptist congregations to extend your mission from Alaska to Puerto Rico.
