Georgia Barnette Offering Month of Prayer

This year we will focus on only four needs, one a week for this month. This week, we will learn more about the FBC, Morgan City.

What is this Offering?

Every year Louisiana Baptists take up an offering dedicated to help fund missions and ministries around the state. The money received through the offering is used by God to transform the lives of people and churches in Louisiana.

Learn more about some of the specific ministries that benefit from this offering and how your gifts are allocated.

The offering is typically promoted and collected by the churches of Louisiana. But, if you are inclined to give an individual gift, you can do that here.

Georgia? Louisiana? Huh?

The yearly Louisiana Missions Offering is named in honor of Miss Georgia Barnette, a missionary to New Orleans in the early 1900s. Keep reading to learn more about her story.

‘I Know Your Words and Thoughts

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. There at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
