Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

Join us in the month April for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering (AAEO) is the primary way we support mission efforts in North America. One hundred percent of gifts given to AAEO are used to support Southern Baptist missionaries serving across the United States and Canada.

To give to this offering:

You may send a check in the mail – please designate “AAEO” in the memo portion of a check made payable to Grand Avenue Baptist Church.

You may give electronically at gabcames.org/giving choosing the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering Fund.

The offering goal at GABC is $1,250.00.

Over the course of the month we’ll be posting prayer requests from the 2020 Prayer Guide for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering titled “It’s All About the Gospel”.

The following is the North American missionary spotlight and prayer requests and video for Day 1.

Day 1
Dave & Mary Elliff, Seattle, Washington

Bible to Metaphysical Belt

When Dave and Mary Elliff left Arkansas, they left family and familiar culture to plant a new church in the Pacific Northwest.

“In the South, we have the Bible Belt. In Seattle, people call Roosevelt, the neighborhood where we’re planting, the Metaphysical Belt. Ninety six percent of the people here don’t attend an evangelical church,” says Dave. “It’s really well-known for New Age and Eastern religion.”

The Elliffs launched Roots Community Church with just one other couple. They soon formed a core group through community outreach and by recruiting others who felt called to serve in Seattle.

“We started Roots Church in 2016. Since then, we’ve had to move three times because we keep outgrowing our space. That’s a good problem to have. Now, we have almost a hundred people who are a part of our church,” says Mary.

PRAY
For strength for the team as they work in a challenging, unreached community.
For hearts to be prepared for the gospel in Roosevelt.
