Ten Ways To Bless Your Missionary
- Write them letters! Tell them good news from home and how you are praying for them.
- Collect daily newspapers and current magazines they may enjoy and mail them overseas.
- Send dry foods that are difficult to purchase overseas. Ask what they enjoy and how you can help them avoid large custom charges.
- Hold a party! Have everyone bring some item the missionaries enjoy, then ship them.
- While on furlough, volunteer to care for their children, so they can have time alone.
- Send cards on birthdays and anniversaries. Remember them at Christmas!
- Send worship CDs and Christian books that they may not be able to get overseas.
- Make audio and videotapes of your family, Harvest Team, or church and send them to their family.
- Put together a puzzle and have people sign their names and well wishes. Then break it apart and mail it overseas.
- Pray for them and seek new ways to intercede via e-mail, phone calls, and letters.
