Putting God First...Together Advancing Lewis, Perry Hickman Areas For Christ
Annie Armstrong
Nathan Finn, associate professor of historical theology
and Baptist studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake
Forest, North Carolina, said. "Most Southern Baptists think Annie
Armstrong is just the name of a missions offering. They have no idea the
role she played in raising money for foreign missions, championing home
missions, and advocating a Southern Baptist Sunday School ministry—she
was a tireless denomination-builder."A prolific letter writer on behalf of the WMU and its mission, Armstrong once wrote more than 18,000 letters in one year.
Tom Nettles, professor of historical theology at Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, called Armstrong
"a person who looked at her gifts and her opportunities and pushed
through any personal inhibitions and contextual prejudices to do what
she believed God wanted her to do for His glory and the extension of the
Kingdom." Jeff Robinson is pastor of Philadelphia Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama
