Myers-Mallory State Missions Offering

Week of Prayer

Who are Martha Myers and Kathleen Mallory?

Two spiritual giants.

Two periods of time.

Two lives well lived for one mission…The Great Commission.

Martha Myers

IMG20056301126HIDr. Martha Myers was martyred along with two other missionaries in the country of Yemen in 2002. But more important than the death she died is the life she lived.

Dr. Martha, as she was known, lived a life of service and faithful obedience to the Lord. She spent countless hours walking tirelessly village to village where her Land Rover couldn’t go—all in pursuit of taking the Gospel to the people of Yemen. Her dedication to the cause of Christ is an inspiration to all and an example of what it means to give of yourself so that others may hear.

Kathleen Mallory

malloryBorn in 1879, Kathleen Mallory continues to inspire Alabama Baptists decades later. She lived a humble, frugal lifestyle so she could have more money to give for missions. She was known for her deep devotion to prayer and sacrificial giving from the heart.

Ms. Mallory became known as the “sweetheart of Alabama Baptists” and served as a respected leader in both state and national WMU. She had an endearing and unwavering commitment to the enlisting of prayer support and other resources for Southern Baptist missionaries around the world. Her sacrificial heart for missions is a powerful example even today.
