Alma Hunt Q&A
What is the Alma Hunt Emphasis for Virginia Missions?
The Alma Hunt Emphasis for Virginia Missions is a year-round expression of the mission spirit of Virginia Baptists.
Why is it called the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions?
Alma Hunt was a Virginia born, world renown Baptist leader, having served 26 years as WMU National Executive Director and after retirement as a national and international missions advocate. Until her death at age 98, her sacrificial service was an example for all Virginia Baptists to emulate. Thus, the State Missions Offering of Virginia was named in her honor in 1998.
What does the Alma Hunt Offering fund beyond my regular giving?
The Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions makes possible special ministries, outreach projects, and initiatives that are not funded through regular streams of giving but are uniquely connected to Virginia Baptists. These ministry allocations are determined annually for publication.
