What is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering?
Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world's greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence.
She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®.

Heart & Soul: a place to go deeper into prayer and life together. This is a space for men & women to share how God is working in their lives at the heart level, and encourage one another through concentrated prayer for each other and God's purposes at Hillcrest. The group will often be divided into two groups (Heart for the women, and Soul for the men), but will sometimes meet and pray together as well. The group will meet in the Sanctuary immediately following Coffee Fellowship.
