International Missions

God is making a great name for himself among the nations, and he has called all Christians to be an active part of his mission. At Walker Road we have many opportunities for you to get involved. It is our firm belief that every member of the church can be a part of this great task.

Every Member Has a Role

Every member at The Summit Church has the opportunity to participate in the work the Lord is doing overseas. First and foremost, every Christian can pray. Pray for the lost who have never heard the gospel and pray for the missionaries who God has called to take the gospel to these distant places. Second, every Christian can give. Every time you give to the church, a portion of your gift goes to see the gospel advanced to the nations. Finally, you can go. Go to the mission field yourself, either on a short-term trip or as a long-term missionary.

International Missions we participate in:

Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (Collection in April)

What is the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering?

This offering was started in 1895 by Woman’s Missionary Union® (WMU) to benefit the work of the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board). In 1934, it was named in honor of Annie Armstrong, a bold missions advocate and WMU’s first national executive leader. Today, more than $1 billion has been donated by Southern Baptist churches and individuals to support thousands of missionaries in church planting and compassion ministries. Because of this sacrificial giving, millions of lives have been and continue to be transformed by the power of the gospel.

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (Collection in December)

What is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering?

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® is an annual offering collected by believers around the world to support international missions. The offering was officially named in 1918 by Woman’s Missionary Union in honor of the missionary to China who urged churches to start it and give sacrificially.

This offering is unique from other mission offerings in that 100% of gifts provide for missionaries all over the world. It is a valuable part of Southern Baptists’ 175-year history of reaching the nations with the gospel and vital to reaching the vision of a multitude from every language, people, tribe and nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 7:9).

We also support missionaries overseas, for more information please reach out to Danny Carswell- Mission Committee Chair.
