Each year, the North American Mission Board selects eight missionaries or missionary couples to represent the work of more than 5,200 missionaries who serve throughout the U.S. and Canada. Contact information, ministry profiles, and stories are available on the Web at www.AnnieArmstrong.com/missionaries. The segments on this year's North American Missions Emphasis video also portray their work.
