<div dir="auto">Join us in supporting our partners at the International Mission Board by giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. 100% of the Lottie Moon offering goes to helping missionaries get to and stay on the field that God has called them to, to share the&nbsp;Gospel with those who have never heard. This year, our goal at Valley is to raise $10,000 for this important kingdom work,&nbsp;with a challenge goal of $15,000. Would you prayerfully consider how God is calling you to give, and how He might be challenging you to pray more regularly for those who are being sent to the nations?
