Our Goal:
Each year, we honor the life and work of Annie Walker Armstrong (1850-1938) when we give to the annual offering for North American missions named after her. As a tireless servant of God and a contagious advocate and supporter of mission efforts throughout the world, Annie Armstrong led women to unite in mission endeavors.
Annie believed in Christ with all her heart, but it was her hands that expressed that belief in tangible ways. She spent a great amount of time typing and handwriting letters in support of missions. In 1893 alone, she wrote almost 18,000 letters!
Annie rallied churches to give more, pray more and do more for reaching people for Christ.
Mission:
We are firm believers in the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Old English word for Good News is Gospel, with which we are all familiar. Perhaps not so well-known is the parallel Greek word, Evangelin.
Missions is all about sharing the Evangelin - that's why we call it evangelism.
Richland Baptist Church supports local evangelism through our own FAITH training and through the Columbia Basin Baptist Association.
We also support Southern Baptist entities such as the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and the International Mission Board (IMB).
