Help Honor Retirement-Aged Servants of the Lord

1 Timothy 5:17 tells us, “The elders who are good leaders are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.” (CSB)

With a desire to serve those worthy of double honor, Mission:Dignity is seeking more retirement-aged Southern Baptist ministers, workers and their widows whose income is insufficient to meet their daily needs, and we need your help!

Recipients of Mission:Dignity funds must:

Be 65 years of age or older
Have 10 or more years of paid service with a Southern Baptist church, agency, or institution, or he or she must have been married to someone who would have met age and service requirements
Meet monthly income limits (income limits change annually — call Mission:Dignity office for the latest)
Have less than $45,000 in assets, excluding home

If someone you know who meets or comes close to meeting the qualifications above, you can help in one of three ways.
