Every year, NewBranch participates in what is called The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (LMCO) for International Missions. If you’re not familiar with Great Commission Baptist (a.k.a. Southern Baptist) history, then you might be wondering, “What is a Lottie Moon?”. Well, Lottie Moon isn’t a “what”, it’s a “who”, and the LMCO is taken up each year in her honor. We will be doing so again this December, and in preparation for this offering, we wanted to give a brief biographical sketch of who this woman was and why we collect an offering for international missions each year.
