Who was Lottie Moon ? |

Lottie Moon
Dec. 12, 1840–Dec. 24, 1912
|
|
The China of 1900, with vast expanses of farmland and
antiquated technology, bore little resemblance to the
rapidly modernizing China of today.
"Only" 472 million people lived in the immense country
then, compared to the 1.27 billion residents currently
crammed within its borders. Emperors and empresses
reigned, as opposed to communist leaders. But one
thing has not changed during the past century: China's
need for a Savior.
In 1873, one young woman was so moved by China's
lostness that she abandoned her job, home and family
to evangelize the Chinese. She was determined to
remain in China as long as it took—until all the
people knew of Jesus.
Charlotte Digges “Lottie” Moon set sail, at age 32,
one of the few single women appointed to international
service by the Southern Baptist Convention at that
time. Yet, despite any fears she may have had about
setting out for a hostile and unpredictable mission
field, Lottie boldly set her sights on China.
For 39 years she labored chiefly in Tengchow and in
P’ingtu.She encountered many initial battles, as
missionaries do today. The people feared and rejected
her, referring to her as “devil woman.” But Lottie
refused to leave in defeat. She used creative methods
to attract the people. She baked delicious cookies;
their aroma beckoned to people outside. She adopted
traditional Chinese dress and learned their language
and customs. Lottie didn't merely serve the people of
China; she identified with them.
When Lottie was not traveling among the villages, she
wrote letters home. She told of thrilling adventures,
inspiring successes, heartbreaking defeats—and grim
darkness. Lottie often wrote about the great need of
China’s people. She related their hunger for truth,
their thirst for life—and the unending struggle
missionaries endured to share the gospel with everyone
who sought.
Lottie urged Southern Baptists in the United States to
take up the cause and to support missionaries through
prayer and giving. She begged for more workers. And
she prayed for Southern Baptists to realize the great
lostness that enshrouded most of the world.
In 1912, during a time of war and famine in China,
Lottie gave the last resource she had in order to save
the lives and souls of the Chinese-her own food. She
silently, courageously starved, and her Christian
brothers and sisters saw the ultimate sign of love:
She gave her life for others. On Christmas Eve that
year, Lottie, age 72, died aboard a ship bound for the
United States. |

Each year, we honor the life and work of Annie Walker
Armstrong (1850-1938) when we give to the annual
offering for home missions named after her. As a
tireless servant of God and a contagious advocate and
supporter of mission efforts throughout the world, Annie
Armstrong led women to unite in mission endeavors that
ultimately led to the formation of Woman’s Missionary
Union, for which she served as the first corresponding
secretary.
Annie believed
in Christ with all her heart, but it was her hands that
expressed that belief in tangible ways. She spent a
great amount of time typing and handwriting letters in
support of missions. Many of these letters were quite
lengthy and all were filled with conviction that more
could and should be done in our mission efforts. In
1893 alone, she wrote almost 18,000 letters! Annie also
never hesitated to use her hands to reach out to hug a
child or distribute food and clothing and the Word of
God to those in need. Her hands held her own Bible as
she studied to know how best to share God’s love with
others. And, most important, Annie was a woman of
prayer, folding her hands in prayer to intercede for the
missionaries and for those they were helping discover
Christ.
Annie rallied
churches to give more, pray more, and do more for
reaching people for Christ. As we continue to unite to
make her vision a reality in North America today, we can
be confident that her legacy will also be ours. |
