Reaching the world for Christ is the vision and passion of our Southern Baptist Convention.

Our grand task to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every person in the world and make disciples of all the nations is what our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is all about.

This is why each one of us — personally and in our churches collectively — must pray diligently and ask God what He wants us to give to reach the world for Christ.

The need has never been greater. The call is clear to advance the Gospel, whether it is through planting churches, ministries of compassion or equipping the next generation.

Now is the time to come together and give more than ever before to sending missionaries around the globe. Because of who He is, we must find a way together to declare His name to all the nations.

Let’s rise up in this critical hour and give in an unprecedented way to our 2015 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. Now is the time to reach the world for Christ.

Ronnie Floyd is president of the Southern Baptist Convention and senior pastor of Cross Church in northwest Arkansas.
