From the Desk of Our Executive Director

Missouri Baptist Pastors are optimistic about giving! You will discover that by reading our lead post. Last year we started a series called Missouri Baptist Pastors Speak Up. We asked pastors their views on stewardship-related topics. We pick back up with that series in this issue of the Journal with a post entitled Missouri Baptist Pastors Speak Up About Giving and Offerings.

Here is a preview of what you can expect in the following pages.

Mark Brooks, The Stewardship Coach, continues the series he began in our last edition on taking up the offering. This week’s post is entitled Let’s Change the Conversation About Money and Giving.

Given the rise in online giving in our MBC churches, you will find helpful tips in this week’s Bonus Section entitled How to Make Your Offerings 24/7/365.

This week’s Mission and Ministry moment is a play on Valentine’s Day, pointing out the ultimate gift and what our response should be. It’s entitled Does $164.76 Say I Love You?

Remember, if you know of someone that would like to receive the Journal, please send them this link for easy signup https://mobaptist.org/stewardship/stewardship-journal/.

Our prayer is that this material will be used to help your church be financially sound. Please let us know how we can help through the Journal to better meet your need or address the issues you are facing. All our contributions will help make the Journal even more effective for increasing stewardship around our state. That is our prayer!

Advancing the Gospel!
