The offering was started in 1895 by Woman’s Missionary Union® (WMU) to benefit the work of the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board). In 1934, it was named in honor of Annie Armstrong, a bold missions advocate and WMU’s first national executive leader. Today, more than $1 billion has been donated by Southern Baptist churches and individuals.
Every dollar given goes to train and resource thousands of missionaries involved in church planting and compassion ministries who share the life-transforming gospel of Jesus Christ across the United States, Canada and their territories.
You can give through your local SBC church or online by credit card. You can text Annie to 888-123 (Msg&Data rates may apply). Checks can also be mailed to North American Mission Board, P.O. Box 116543, Atlanta, GA 30368 (note in the memo line: Annie Armstrong Easter Offering). Gifts are accepted all year.
We recommend making your request as early as possible, even up to a year in advance to secure a speaker. Complete and submit the online form at speaker request. A member of the NAMB team will review your information and contact you to provide a list of potential speakers in your geographic area.
