Annie Armstrong Easter Offering 2026
Your generosity is more than a gift—it’s the fuel God uses to send missionaries, plant churches, and share the hope of Jesus across North America.
Through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, more than 3,000 missionaries are reaching over 11,000 communities with the gospel. Every dollar you give helps make that possible.
Join us in this season of prayer and giving as we take part in God’s work across North America.
