Margaret Lackey State Offering tops $2.2M

“I want to thank you, Mississippi Baptists, for your giving to the Margaret Lackey State offering. This offering is helping Mississippi Baptists extend our reach, right here in the state of Mississippi to begin with, through ministries such as campus ministries on our colleges and universities, Disaster Relief whenever the call is needed, as well as criminal justice ministries in our correctional facilities, and church planting. 

“But it’s also helping us extend our reach beyond the state of Mississippi, across the country through partnerships that we have with North and South Dakota, Maine, Arizona. And it’s also helping us extend beyond the United States of America through international partnerships with places like Thailand and Indonesia and various other international points. So this offering is helping us extend our reach, beyond what we are ordinarily able to do, through the Cooperative Program, through missions and ministries that fulfill the Great Commission. 

“Mississippi Baptists, I’m proud to report to you that the total amount of this year’s offering is $2,246,216. What a magnificent achievement made possible by God’s goodness and by your faithful generosity. On behalf of all of us, thank you for your faithfulness.”

— Shawn Parker, Executive Director-Treasurer of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board
