The Louisiana Baptist Foundation exists to encourage and assist individuals with gifts that support the work and ministry of churches, institutions and organizations affiliated with the Louisiana and Southern Baptist Conventions.
“Give A Gift” was developed, with the cooperation of the Baptist Message, to illustrate how the LBF assists Baptists with gifts to Baptist ministries.
A submission form for Give A Gift is available in each issue of the Message. A link to an on-line form is also available below. Each month the Foundation will draw a name, at random, from the submissions received through the on-line form and submissions received by mail. The person whose name is selected will have the opportunity to direct a $1000.00 gift from the Foundation to the Louisiana Baptist church, ministry or organization they choose.
The name of the ministry receiving the gift will be published in the following issue of the Message.
- Completely fill out the form found in the Message (or CLICK lbfinfo.org/give_a_gift/ to fill out the online form.)
- Mail to: GIVE A GIFT, c/o Louisiana Baptist Foundation, P.O. Box 311, Alexandria, La 71309
- A name will be drawn at random from the month’s submissions on the last business day of that month. Any submissions after that date will be held to the following month.
