What is State Missions Offering?

Every year Maryland/Delaware baptists support Missions causes in our state by giving to the BCM/D State Missions Offering and by spending time in prayer for the specific missionaries and ministries this offering supports.

This year Maryland/Delaware Baptists will spend the week of September 13th-20th learning about, praying for and taking up an offering for missions work in our state. But remember, you and your church can pray and give to State Missions anytime of the year!

Week of September 13-20th, 2009
2009 Goal: $215,000
