Women On Mission - February 2023

Thank you for your generous support of missions.
Here are the Oakhill Mission receipts for 2022. 

In addition, $45,942.68 was given through the Cooperative Program to the Southern Baptist Convention, most of which goes to support missions, as well as our seminaries and other entities. Our World Mission Club is an opportunity to give to missions on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. (This is over and above our regular tithes and offerings).

This is collected throughout the year and distributed as follows:  Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (51.6%); Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (19.6%); Life Change Central/Oakhill Ministries (10.0%); State Missions Offering (10.0%); State Camp Offering (8.8%).

If you are not giving in this systematic way, please consider doing so in 2023. Boxed offering envelopes are provided by the church.

Women on Mission will meet next on Thursday, March 2nd at 1:00 pm in Grace classroom. All ladies are invited to join.

Women On Mission - January 2023

The Cooperative Program

The financial fuel for reaching every person for Jesus Christ in every town, every city, every state and nation.                                              

More than 95 years ago, Southern Baptists realized the challenge of reaching a lost world was too great for the approach to missions they were taking.  Small congregations couldn’t adequately train leaders and send missionaries on their own.  A host of societies competed for funding, and missions efforts were badly fragmented.  A few leaders
realized the churches needed to link up in a focused partnership. Together they could accomplish what chaotic competition was preventing. 

In 1925, Southern Baptists forged the Cooperative Program.  Individuals, churches, state conventions, and Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) entities began working together toward a common goal:  rescuing souls in danger by showing and sharing the gospel all around the world.  The unified budget mitigated competition and provided
long-term stability for missions boards.

Even though we number more than 47,000 congregations, our churches working alone could not register the gains we see each year through our Cooperative Program efforts: 23,000 students trained in six seminaries, more than 1,100 congregations started in North America, 886 people groups and 236 urban centers engaged overseas, and almost 1.4  million people in 53 countries helped with basic life essentials like food and clean water. 

When we join hands through the Cooperative Program, we are better able to obey Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples of all nations.”

Women on Mission will not meet in January or February.
