| Week of Prayer for International Missions
Suggested Dates: November 30-December 7, 2025
Southern Baptists observe a Week of Prayer for International Missions each year before the annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® emphasis. Will you join your heart with others to pray for missionaries around the world who are faithfully sharing the gospel? More information and resources can be found here.
Standing orders for Week of Prayer/Lottie Moon Christmas Offering promotion materials have been shipped from the Tennessee WMU office.
If you need to order materials for the week of prayer, we have a new website, www.tnwmuorder.org, where churches can place a standing order for free printed promotional materials (envelopes, posters, and prayer guides) for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, and the Golden Offering for Tennessee Missions. This website can be viewed and updated at any time, and churches can choose the shipping address for the material.
Unfortunately, all previous standing orders for printed promotional materials had to be deleted in May 2025, so every church needs to place a new standing order.
When you visit the website, click on 'New Order' on the top right, and you will be prompted to enter the requested information to set up your new standing order. We will set up a password for your order, which you can use later to view or make any changes.
Once your order is entered, we will process it and mail the materials to you as soon as possible.
Please contact Anna Yadkowski or call 615-371-7908 if you have any questions.
