Hello, from Kentucky WMU!
The year’s theme is called “One True Hope” based on the scripture Psalm 31:21-24. Kentucky needs hope. Whatever region of the state you call home, there is brokenness. While we can’t take away all of the suffering happening around us, it’s always in our power to decide what our response will be.
We invite you to join us September 12-19, 2021, and mobilize your church to reach every Kentuckian by praying, giving and going.
OFFERING UPDATE

About the Eliza Broadus
Miss Eliza Broadus 1851-1931 |
The State Missions Offering is named for one of its earliest advocates and missions pioneers, Eliza Broadus. Miss Broadus served faithfully in her church and worked diligently and tirelessly for Kentucky Woman's Missionary Union. She held many positions for WMU on the state and national level. Her collective service to WMU totaled to fifty-three years from 1878-1931.
In 1913 Miss Broadus led Kentucky WMU to promote the taking of an annual offering for state missions in all the churches. In 1975 Kentucky WMU voted to name the annual state missions offering in her honor starting in 1976. Miss Kathleen Mallory’s tribute to Miss Broadus in the December 1931 issue of Royal Service summarized her varied service in these words: "Few Southern Baptist women have equaled Miss Eliza S. Broadus in the service rendered her “own generation according to the will of God.” Four- score years and one week were granted to her and she not only used them to help lovingly in the home, church, community and state, but for more than half of her life she was a most efficient officer of Woman’s Missionary Union....In living terms one will ever think of Miss Broadus, for she was always so active, alert and animated that death cannot be associated with her."
