Learn MoreAnnie Armstrong FAQ
Who is Annie Armstrong?
Born July 11, 1850, in Baltimore, Maryland, Annie Armstrong developed a passion for missions early on. Despite her wealthy background, she dedicated her life to serving the poor, planting churches, and organizing mission efforts for African Americans and Native Americans.
In 1882, she founded the Woman’s Baptist Home Mission Society of Maryland. Six years later, she helped establish the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) and became its first corresponding secretary, tirelessly promoting missions and raising funds. Her motto, “Go Forward,” inspired generations.
Annie’s leadership led to the first foreign missions offering in 1888, which helped send a missionary to China to support Lottie Moon. She served WMU until 1906, never accepting a salary.
What is the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering?
The Annie Armstrong Easter 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. The offering ensures continued funding for church planting, evangelism, and missionary support throughout North America. Today, more than $2 billion has been donated by Southern Baptist churches and individuals.
What is this year’s theme, scripture verse, and national goal?
The 2025 theme is “Step Into the Story.”
“For they have gone out for the sake of the name… Therefore, we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.”
3 John 1:7-8
The national goal is $78 million.

Mary Hill Davis FAQ
Who was Mary Hill Davis?
Mary Hill Davis was born in Greenville, Georgia, and came to Texas as a small child in 1870 when her family moved from Tennessee to Dallas. At age 20, she married F.S. Davis, a physician. They had one son, Raymond, also a physician and surgeon. Mary’s heart for missions and people was evident in everything she did. She believed Texas was a vast mission field, and that immigrants needed to know Jesus just as much as citizens. Not only did she stir women to give and pray for missions, but she also encouraged leaders to take care of orphans, schools in Texas, as well as China, and retired pastors living in poverty.
What is the Mary Hill Davis Offering?
In 1935, the Executive Board of Woman’s Missionary Union of Texas recommended a resolution that the Week of Prayer for State Missions Offering be named the “Mary Hill Davis Offering”. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the offering was thus named for the woman who had led Baptist women of Texas to pray for and give to missions efforts in Texas. Today, your gifts to the Mary Hill Davis Offering continue to empower state missions efforts for Texas Baptists. Today, Mary’s remarkable leadership continues to inspire Texas Baptists to give, pray, and serve.
What and when is the week of prayer?
On September 14-21, 2025, churches and individuals are encouraged to pray, promote and support Texas Baptists ministries and missionaries serving and sharing the Gospel around the state and world.
How are the gifts used?
Serve Ministries.
These ministries open the door for more effective sharing of the Gospel.
Advance Missions Leadership Ministries.
These ministries equip both clergy and laity as they share the Gospel and serve others.
Love the Least of These Ministries.
These ministries seek to serve those who are too often overlooked such as special needs adults, victims of human trafficking, single parents, men needing employment/life skills, and people living in poverty.
Tell Ministries.
What sets apart the followers of Jesus? It is the sharing of God’s story to give us new life through His Son as we put our faith in Him and giving people the opportunity to receive Him. These ministries enable Texas Baptists to be a witness.
Where should I send my offering?
You can give through our church or online by credit card or check.

What is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering?
Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world’s greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence.
In 1918, Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) named the annual Christmas offering for international missions after the woman who had urged them to start it.
