Get to Know Anna!Anna joined the TBMB team as a ministry assistant for TN WMU and Compassion Ministries in October. She earned a degree in Christian Studies from Union University in 2024 and is now pursuing an MDiv at SBTS. She is particularly interested in Baptist History. She does not have free time because she is a full-time employee and student, but if she did, you could find her holding babies, playing ultimate frisbee, and planning travel to NYC or Katowice!

Week of Prayer for North American Missions
Annie Armstrong Easter Offering
Southern Baptists observe a Week of Prayer for North American Missions each year before the annual Annie Armstrong Christmas Offering® emphasis. Will you join your heart with others to pray for missionaries who are faithfully sharing the gospel in North America? More information and resources can be found here.
Standing orders for the Week of Prayer/Annie Armstrong Easter Offering promotion materials will begin shipping from the Tennessee WMU office in mid-January.
If you need to order promotion materials, 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 Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, the Golden Offering for Tennessee Missions, and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. The website can be viewed and updated at any time, and churches can choose the shipping address for the material.
Please contact Anna Yadkowski or call 615-371-7908 if you have any questions.
