Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering

Thank You check recipients and others who received financial assistance from the 2008 Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering were overwhelmed by the generosity of American Baptist congregations in the midst of the most severe recession since the Great Depression. Contributions to the RMMO in 2008 totaled $1,358,537. Of that amount, 57% was distributed as Thank You checks to 3,238 retired American Baptist ministers, missionaries and their widowed spouses. 38% was made available to people with emergency and other heavy financial needs, and 5% was used for administrative expenses.
