Welcome to the MMO Resources website!
“But someone will say, ‘you have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.” James 2:18 NIV.
Show-Me Faithful is the theme for Missouri Missions Offering emphasis in September of 2010. Now more than ever before, Missouri Baptists must be “doers of the Word.”
Our culture today is overloaded with words and rhetoric. We have people spending hours sharing their opinion on everything from politics to theology. We have come to understand that although programs are good they many times lose sight of their original purpose. James said it well when he said; …“I will show you my faith by what I do.”
Show-Me Faithful will enable Missouri Baptists to see missions up close and personal. MMO is all about action. The missions dollars received this fall will be put into action beginning in January of 2011. Together Missouri Baptists will show the world that we are Christians by our loving actions: sharing Christ’s love, sending missionaries, and starting churches.
This year MMO will be promoted differently than in recent years. We will not send out speakers to the churches but rather provide improved promotional materials for churches to promote the offering throughout the month of September. Churches can still invite MBC staff and Directors of Missions to their churches to speak. However, the improved materials provided in the promotion packet include a top quality video DVD, bulletin inserts and teaching materials, a sermon starter for a pastor to use, as well as the new option of ordering materials online or downloading them from this website. If you didn’t receive a promotion packet in the mail, please call 800-736-6227, ext. 201 and we will send one to you. I sincerely hope that these improved materials and new ordering options will allow you more freedom in promoting the offering in your church.
