Mississippi Baptist State Missions
Each year in September Mississippi Baptists focus on the Season of Prayer for Mississippi Baptist State Missions and the Margaret Lackey
State Mission Offering. However, the MLSMO has now become a year-round mission endeavor that is helping Mississippians learn about missions,
pray for missions, give to missions, and do missions.
In 2007, Mississippi Baptists gave $2,072,806.73. This offering was used to fund ministries such as Garaywa Camp and Conference Center,
Central Hills, Disaster Relief, Literacy, Criminal Justice Ministries, Language-Ethnic Ministries, Christian Women’s Job Corps, Church
Planting, Pastoral Benevolence, International Collegiate Ministry, Associational Mission Projects, and Volunteer Missionary Assistance. Much
of the success belongs to church mission leaders who prayed, promoted, gave and encouraged others to give.
The theme for 2008 is Whatever It Takes
Scripture: John 15
Goal: $2,250,000
