What is the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering?
The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (AAEO) is the primary way we support mission efforts in North America. One hundred percent of gifts given to AAEO are used to support Southern Baptist missionaries serving across the United States and Canada.

Where Does Your Money Go?
Every gift to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering – 100 percent – goes to train, resource and send thousands of missionaries involved in church planting and compassion ministries across the United States, Canada and their territories. Our partnership with Southern Baptist Convention churches and individuals makes this work possible.

Our Week of Prayer - March 5th - 12th

Day 1 -March 5th: There’s no shortage of hurting people in the French Quarter of New Orleans. People living on the streets are typically dealing with trauma and vulnerable to being trafficked. As we begin this year’s #AnnieArmstrong Week of Prayer for North American Missions, will you join us in praying for missionary Kay Bennett? Pray people experiencing homelessness will be drawn to seek help at the Baptist Friendship House. Ask God to provide ways for those trapped in human trafficking to be able to escape exploitation. Pray Kay and her team will be strengthened and encouraged as they serve the most vulnerable in the Big Easy.
Day 2 - March 6th: Oregon is one of the least-churched states in the nation. #AnnieArmstrong missionaries Vergil and Kelsey Brown planted one successful church in Portland, and after 10 years, they felt God’s call to leave it in the hands of a new pastor and plant again. On Day Two of this Week of Prayer, pray with us for Redemption Church to have unity and to be faithful and bold in their evangelism efforts. Ask God to grant the Brown family joy in their church planting journey.
Day 3 - March 7th: 
The Twin Cities area has the largest Somali population outside of Somalia. It is home to the largest Hmong population in the United States, and the Hispanic population has grown by 38% in a decade. Pray with us on Day Three of the #Annie Armstrong Week of Prayer for missionaries Sam and Joanna Choi as they reach the nations in Minneapolis with the gospel.
Day 4 - March 8th: 
It’s Day Four of the #AnnieArmstrong Week of Prayer, and today we’re praying for missionaries Philip and Andi Coleman in Anchorage, Alaska, where 30% of Southern Baptist churches have died in the last six years. Pray for the Colemans as they reach a culture that doesn’t see a need for Jesus. Ask God to use their church’s residency program to raise up new missionaries to reach Alaskan communities and the world. Pray for God to strengthen the relationships between existing Alaskan churches and local associations for the work of the kingdom..
Day 5 -March 9th: 
Emanuel Grozea was born in communist Romania to a family of smugglers—Bible smugglers. As a teenager, Emanuel felt God calling him into ministry. And today, he’s a North American missionary serving as the pastor of a church in Ridgewood, New York, where about half of the neighborhood speaks a language other than English and once was heavily populated with Romanian immigrants. On the Fifth Day of the #AnnieArmstrong Week of Prayer, we’re asking God to strengthen Emanuel and his wife Ioana’s faith as they take the gospel to all nations in the community.
Day 6 - March 10th: 
Pine Ridge in South Dakota is one of the largest yet also one of the poorest reservations in the United States. #AnnieArmstrong missionaries Matt and Amanda Hadden lead the Čhaŋkú Wašté Ranch, a ministry center on the reservation. Pray with us on Day Six of this Week of Prayer for God to give the Haddens wisdom as they meet the many needs of the Oglala Lakota people. Ask Him to grant them continued favor and partnerships with tribal leaders. Pray for growth and support for their wellness and construction ministries.
Day 7 - March 11th: More than a hundred years before missionaries Matthew and Ruth Lahey came here as church planters, the last church in the Kilbride neighborhood of St. John’s burned to the ground and was never rebuilt. People here are wary of organized religion—especially Christianity. Today, on Day Seven of the #AnnieArmstrong Week of Prayer, we’re asking God to open eyes and soften the hearts of people towards the gospel in St. John’s. We’re praying for Kilbride Community Church to represent Christ well in an apathetic environment. Also, we’re praying for God to raise up more workers to come into this harvest.
Day 8 - March 12th: 
Why would a family, who was perfectly content where they were in Mexico City, Mexico, pack up and move 1,700 miles away to Lincoln, Nebraska? Because they heard about the great need
for Spanish-speaking churches in the United States, and God called them to answer this need. On the final day of the #AnnieArmstrong Week of Prayer, join us in praying for church planting missionaries Angel and Vanesa Viveros. Ask God to bless their outreach opportunities and to open the hearts of their neighbors to the gospel.
