For Children – Christmas Backpacks
September – October 2025
Each year, thousands of Christmas Backpacks are collected around the state and at Annual Homecoming and sent out through our partners to bless school children. Use this season to ready your backpacks. Then drop them off at a collection site near you or bring them to Annual Homecoming.
These gifts are given to children in need, but more than just a backpack is offered. The backpacks help create community outreach events to proclaim the Good News of Christ at Christmas. In supporting this work, you can be sure that your generosity helps prepare the soil to share Jesus with these families.
For Missionaries – Missionary Care
November – December 2025
Southern Baptist life is known for our commitment to missions and working cooperatively to accomplish the task. This Christmas season, join us in encouraging our missionary partners.
Missionary care is significant to effective service, longevity, mission education, and ultimately eternal destinies. Has your church sent someone out or partnered with a missionary? Lead your church to excel in caring for missionaries and their families, impacting future generations with the gospel throughout the world.
