Retired Ministers &
Missionaries Offering
Since 1935, Baptists have contributed
to special offerings received in their churches for retired ABC ministers
and missionaries, or their widowed spouses. The Retired Ministers
and Missionaries Offering (RMMO) was established in 1977.
Through this annual offering,
Baptist congregations say thank you in a tangible way to the
denomination's retired ministers and missionaries or their widowed spouses.
The offering provides them with:
- Emergency and other financial
assistance, based on financial need.
- Thank You checks, based on 15 or more
years of ABC service.
Receipts from the 2004 RMMO totaled
$1,764,749, a 1.1% increase over the 2003 receipts of $1,744,801. Of this
amount, $774,564 was made available to meet immediate emergency and special
financial needs. The balance of the receipts was distributed by The
Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board (MMBB) on behalf of American
Baptists in the form of Thank You checks: 3,252 checks were distributed in
2004, ranging from $53.50 to $428. The average check was $304.49.
The RMMO will be taken by most ABC
congregations on Sunday, December 4, 2005.
