The Week of Prayer March 1-8, 2026 The Week of Prayer for North American Missions is a special, focused time of prayer for Southern Baptist missionaries serving through the North American Mission Board and the people they serve. We invite you to join us this season of prayer March 1–8. In addition to prayer, your generosity in giving to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering makes an eternal impact. When you give directly to this offering, 100 percent of your gifts support missionaries in North America. The 2026 goal for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering is $80 million.
