Who Benefits from this Offering?
Every year Louisiana Baptists take up an offering dedicated to help fund missions and ministries around the state. The money received through the offering is used by God to transform the lives of people and churches in Louisiana.
Here are just a few of the ministries that receive financial help from this offering.
Disaster Relief
Louisiana Baptist Disaster Relief is a Christ-centered partnership of national, state, and associational ministries serving through the local church to bring help, healing, and hope to individuals and communities affected by disaster.
Mission Builder
The Mission Builder program helps build mission churches throughout Louisiana at a cost approximately 40% lower than commercial grade construction. This ministry can help in every phase of a build, from planning to completion.
Here for You
Here for You is Louisiana Baptists’ ongoing evangelical media strategy. Whether you want to know more about starting a relationship with God, plugging in to a local church, or are in need of prayer, the Here for You website is here to serve.
Scholarships
