About Annie Armstrong
Annie Walker Armstrong (July 11, 1850 – December 20, 1938) was a lay Southern Baptist denominational leader instrumental in the founding of the Woman's Missionary Union. == Early life == Annie Armstrong was born in Baltimore, Maryland to John Dunn Armstrong and his wife Mary Elizabeth (Walker) Armstrong. She had several siblings including a brother named James. She came from a long line of prominent Baptists including her great-great-grandfather Henry Sater who helped establish the first Baptist church in Maryland. At the age of 20, she had a spiritual awakening to Christ and was "born again" under the preaching of Dr. Richard Fuller at Seventh Baptist Church (now Seventh Metro Church). Later, she was among 100 Seventh Baptist Church members who established Eutaw Place Church (now Woodbrook Baptist Church). The church was pastored by Richard Fuller, the third president of the Southern Baptist Convention, who was heavily involved in missionary activities. She worked with multiple Baltimore missionary organizations ministering to orphans, African Americans, Native Americans, Chinese Americans immigrants, and indigent women and families. == Woman's Missionary Union == In 1888, Armstrong led the creation of the Woman's Missionary Union (WMU), helping draft the constitution and serving as its first correspondent secretary (a position that functioned as executive director).
