September is California Mission Offering month: a Season of Prayer and Offering for California Missions.
Since the entire month is designated for California missions, churches are encouraged to use materials – poster, bulletin insert/prayer guide, videos and other resources – to observe the prayer and offering emphasis throughout the month.
Theme for 2018 is “It's Time!" based on Romans 13:11. The goal for the 2018 Offering is $435,000. Gifts to the offering will support church starting/revitalization, evangelism/missions/disaster relief, associations and season of prayer/marketing.
Purposes for the offering are to:
- Educate California Southern Baptists concerning the urgent need of reaching our state for Jesus Christ.
- Encourage California Southern Baptists to pray for California missions and state missionaries who work with churches to share the Gospel.
- Encourage California Southern Baptists to go on mission and share their faith.
- Encourage California Southern Baptists to give so missionaries and ministries throughout the state can be deployed to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ
