0: Lottie's Big Mountain
Anthony and Judi Stover*
ASAP Diaspora, Southeast Asia
Here, Lottie is looking over a mountain town, called “Big Mountain,” in a city in SE Asia. In this town, there are many Buddhists, but in and around the city (and the mountain) are many Hindu Nepali people. There are a few Nepali believers, and Lottie has helped send workers to them to give them teaching and encouragement. They, in turn, have shared with other Nepalis, some of whom have also come to know Christ. Please lift up the Nepalis in and around “Big Mountain.”
Thank you for your giving to Lottie!

She was sad but wanted everyone to know that she had a new life now and believed in Jesus. Many people here in India are persecuted because they believe in Jesus and don’t follow all the false gods here.

Flat Lottie has enjoyed visiting our youngest child’s kindergarten. Lottie has learned that preK/kindergartens in Japan are all private with tuition and fees due monthly. PreK/kindergarten education here usually spans three school years: preK1 (kids age 3-4), preK2 middle (kids age 4-5), and Kindergarten (kids age 5-6).
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering has provided funding for each of our four children to be schooled at the same preK/kindergarten—an education which has helped our kids and us become acclimated to the national culture and language at an accelerated rate. More importantly, it has opened up literally hundreds of opportunities for us to share Christ with Japanese families in a natural setting.

Southern Baptists made it possible for Cindy and some other IMB missionaries to travel by car to this family's home and help them try to harvest rice by hand from the rice fields full of plants knocked down by the rushing water and partially covered in sand. To the family this act of mercy demonstrated the love of Christ in their hour of need.

53: It's all Relative
East Asia
Three new personnel and I traveled out to a village to prayerwalk and share the Gospel. As we walked around, we found this Buddhist idol, symbolic of what some of these villagers put their faith in. Later, one of the apprentices was able to share a simple Gospel presentation in the local language.
There are two key activities that all of our missionaries do to be effective:
1. Learn the local language so that we can share the Gospel in people’s heart language.
2. Travel out to places to share the Gospel among people who have never heard the name of Jesus.
Language learning and local travel are two of the most important things that our missionaries do. Imagine a car without tires. It might have a powerful engine, leather seats, and a shiny paint job, but without the tires, the car isn’t going anywhere.
In the same way. if we don’t have money to learn language or travel, then we’re not going anywhere. Just::text like there’s nothing glamorous about tires, in the same way there’s nothing glamorous about giving money towards learning a language or buying bus tickets.
We thank you all the more for giving through the LMCO that allows our missionaries to learn language and travel out to places in order to share the Gospel effectively.

Lottie loved traveling through the villages of China to share the Good News. These days, getting access to villages is difficult in some places, yet medical, educational and disaster relief teams who provide a needed service to the community are allowed in. Your gifts to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering help meet physical needs while at the same time allowing people to hear the wonderful news of salvation!
Thank you for giving.

Emily Stockton*
East Asia
People in East Asia sometimes worship at shrines and temples. The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering helps provide evangelism tools in the languages of East Asian people; materials such as videos, tracts, Gospel films and scripture help explain truth and salvation to them.
The LMCO also pays for workers to learn the East Asian languages fluently so they can personally share their faith, forever changing lives.
Thank you, because the offerings you give through the LMCO are impacting eternity.

64: Relationships
Krystal McDuffy*
East Asia
Our family built a friendship with a long distance driver. We shared the Gospel with him and he readily accepted Jesus. However the following weekend his faith was put to the test during a holiday where the people of his minority group all worship their ancestors. We shared the Gospel with his family before that event and shared how only God was worthy of worship. The man struggled with his decision as he did not want to be seen as disloyal to his family.
We continued to pray for his family and take his car for long distance trips, sharing Bible stories with him at every opportunity.
Last week while visiting a friend who had a baby at the hospital, my kids and I ran into him. He was visiting his mother-in-law who had thrown out her back and couldn't move. We visited her and shared the Gospel, and she prayed to receive Jesus!
Two days later, I visited her again taking along a believer friend. In half an hour, this grandmother who hadn't been able to move in eight days was sitting up in bed and walking around the room with help.
We gave praise to Jesus and the grandmother's eldest daughter said, "How do I follow Him? I want to believe in Him too!" God is working and wants to save our friend's whole family!
We are so grateful for your giving that allows us to spend quality time among these precious people; we can bring the hope of Jesus to them in their time of need!

Being an American and native English speaker living in Japan, I have the opportunity to get involved on a deep level with many university students. The young man in the picture is an English Literature major who wants to spend extra time studying English.
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering allows me to provide a context where this university student can hear and respond to the Holy Spirit’s voice by using the English Bible to help him gain more English knowledge. More importantly, his study of the Bible helps him know the One who created him.
Thank you for contributing to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.

66: Providing Shoes
At a traditional shoe shop in East Asia we are reminded that shoes represent feet, and feet represent people — people with boots on the ground, hands to the plow.
Because you give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, Christian workers are able to live in East Asia while devoting their full attention to the work of evangelism.
Your offerings provide these workers with a living wage so they can go out and buy their own shoes (and clothes, groceries, bikes, utilities, etc.).

Ron Reynolds

Japanese affected by the 2011 tsunami in northeast Japan are still wondering what type of a future they will have as they wait for plans to be finalized by the local and national governments. IMB missionaries in Japan have the resources to be able to be in the disaster area for extended periods of time to provide hope and comfort during these uncertain times. The core of this hope is rooted in Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father's compassion for the Japanese.
Thank you, Southern Baptist Churches for providing funds to be able to travel to the disaster area and supplies needed to minister to Japanese in a part of the country that has had the least exposure to the Gospel.
