The IMB is looking to celebrate the largest giving ever to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Currently they have received over $144 million. May 31 is the official closing date for the 2006 offering. They are anticipating that by then we will have surpassed the $150 million goal.
If the total continues to rise they are anticipating that there will be enough financial support to send nearly 200 more missionaries in the 2007-08 year.
You will see a recommendation from the finance committee that we allocate the first $5.2 million received beyond the $141.2 million we have [budgeted from anticipated Lottie Moon receipts] in the 2007 operating budget to sending additional missionaries."
The operating budget already provides funding for new missionaries. The anticipated Lottie Moon funds could result in a net gain of an additional 200 missionaries in 2007-08. [emphasis mine]
