OBU Prison Divinity Program
The gospel is transforming lives behind prison walls. Through a partnership with Oklahoma Baptist University, incarcerated men have the opportunity to earn a theological education and be equipped for ministry. As they grow in their knowledge of Scripture and love for Christ, they faithfully disciple and encourage fellow inmates, bringing the hope of Jesus by starting Bible studies and churches in prisons across Oklahoma. Through the State Missions Offering, Oklahoma Baptists are equipping these men to make an eternal impact right where they are.
Ministerial Crisis Care
Pastors faithfully care for others through seasons of joy, grief, uncertainty, and loss. When they or their families face unexpected crises, Oklahoma Baptists come alongside them with practical assistance, encouragement, and prayer. Through Ministerial Crisis Care, the State Missions Offering helps strengthen pastors and their families, ensuring they receive the Christ-centered care they need as they continue faithfully serving their churches.

About the Edna McMillan State Missions Offering
The State Missions Offering is named for one of its earliest advocates and mission pioneers, Edna McMillan. After graduating with honors from the Huntsville Female College in Alabama in 1890, Edna married a young Baptist man, George McMillan. She respected his quest for Godly character and was inspired when she first met him during a church service where he pledged a generous amount to a special missions offering.
Both of the McMillans became faithful stewards of their time and their resources. George served in church and worked in the oil business. They settled in Muskogee in 1902 and later spent most of their lives in Bristow. Edna held numerous roles in the church and worked diligently and tirelessly for Oklahoma Woman’s Missionary Union. She held many positions in WMU and served as state WMU president for 11 years from 1927 to 1938.
Edna was an effective communicator and consistently challenged Oklahoma Baptists to give generously to state missions. In 1932, she said, “A rich man is one who has enough for himself and enough left over to help others. Though he be possessed of millions, a man is poor, who has only enough for himself.”
The state WMU Board in 1939 met in Muskogee where Edna was surprised to hear the recommendation and later unanimous vote to name the State Mission Offering in her honor. Through her many travels and days away from home to champion mission cause, Edna never accepted a penny for her expenses.
“Children have great opportunities in their own neighborhoods and schools to love others and share the Good News of Jesus. The Missions Education Activity Sheets provide engaging activities to open young eyes to missions in their own backyards!” – Edna McMillan
