You have … heard about this hope in the message of truth, the gospel that has come to you. It is bearing fruit and growing all over the world, just as it has among you since the day you heard it…Col. 1:5-6 (HCSB)

Aloha Churches,

The theme for the 2016 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions is The Gospel Resounds. In partnership with you, the International Mission Board is able to send your missionaries so the gospel will resound throughout the world. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is a vital part of this work. Your gift enables limitless missionary teams to make disciples and multiply churches among unreached peoples and places for the glory of God. IMB missionaries are fully funded through generous support to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, which enables them to remain focused on their ministry and not require fundraising to remain in their ministry field. Every person in your church has a part to play in helping the gospel resound.

What happens when you give? The gospel resounds through missionaries’ lives! One hundred percent of what you give helps sustain missionaries on the field, equip missionaries to serve, provide tools to share the gospel, equip nationals to make disciples, and help missionaries meet physical needs. For instance, $2 can provide an SDmemory card filled with an audio Bible and Bible lessons, $55 can provide two weeks’ training for one house church leader in Northern Africa and the Middle East, and $1,500 can provide a large greenhouse for research, growing new varieties of food crops and training.

The Hawaii Pacific Goal for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is $250,000. The national goal is $155,000,000. Please help by promoting the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering in your church. Envelopes, posters, and prayer guides have been provided in this packet. You can get more information at There are downloadable graphics, videos, and more on the IMB website.

Thank you for your support and generous giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

Aloha ke Akua,

Teresa McCain
