CHARLOTTE "Lottie" DIGGES MOON ( 1840 - 1912 ) Lottie
Moon—the namesake of the international missions offering—has become
something of a legend. But in her time Lottie was anything but an untouchable
hero. In fact, she was like today’s missionaries. She was a hard-working,
deep-loving Southern Baptist who labored tirelessly so her people group could
know Jesus. 1
When she set sail for China, Lottie was 32 years old. She had
turned down a marriage proposal and left her job, home and family to follow
God’s lead. Her path wasn’t typical for an educated woman from a
wealthy Southern family. But Lottie did not serve a typical God. He had gripped
her with the Chinese peoples’ need for a Savior. 2
