Lottie Moon's Sacrificial Service - Baptist (Philippians 4:13)

Source: Missionary story81 words

Lottie Moon served as a missionary in China for nearly 40 years. When famine struck, she gave away her food until she herself was starving. She weighed 50 pounds when she died on Christmas Eve 1912, having given everything. Her strength wasn't physical—she was small, frail by the end. But Philippians 4:13 gave her endurance to serve when it cost everything. Today, the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering has raised billions for missions. One woman's personal devotion, strengthened by Christ, still multiplies.
