Annie: The Extraordinary Story of the SBC Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

By: Julie McDonald

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This is the inspiring short story, about a 20 minute read, of Annie Armstrong, 1850-1938 of Baltimore, Maryland. Opportunities for women were not in abundance during Annie's lifetime, but that did stop her! She worked tirelessly to encourage churches in the Southern Baptist Convention to give and to pray for missionaries. Annie started a school for Native Americans, helped Chinese immigrants and fledgling African American churches, mostly composed of freed slaves. She also helped at the Ladies Bayview Mission and the Friendless Orphanage. She did all of this without ever taking a salary. The SBC annual Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, so named in her honor, has raised over 2.6 Billion dollars for church planting work in the United States and Canada. This story is so inspirational as you realize what what one woman can do!
