Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
When Hunter Street partners with the International Mission
Board (IMB) and gives to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering,
missionaries are able to share the gospel with unreached people
groups, train believers to start new churches, assist in the planting
of new churches, show Christ’s love to those in distress, and, most
importantly, work to spread the kingdom of God.
According to IMB’s 2013 Annual Statistical Report, our missionaries shared the gospel with 1.7 million people, trained 23,000
nationals to start new churches and helped plant 6,200 churches.
While those statistics are exciting, there are still 4 billion people
who remain lost. More giving will allow IMB to send more missionaries so that more people are reached for Christ!
Will you give so that others may hear? Look for Lottie Moon envelopes
in the Worship Guide on Sunday mornings in the coming weeks.

Be a Neighbor
Over 250 people have moved into a new
house in our community in the last 90
days. Wouldn’t it be great if they came to
Hunter Street and heard the gospel? You
can help make that happen.
Come to the Gathering Place this Sunday
and pick up a New Neighbor Bag (addresses are provided). Don't miss this opportunity to meet a new neighbor and invite
them to Hunter Street.
