ENCOURAGING MISSIONARIES

  • Pray for missionaries and their families
  • When a family is leaving to do mission work, offer them help in   determining items they need to take, then purchasing those items, and then help with sorting and packing their belongings.
  • Ask missionary families to send you a “possibilities list”.  A list of items that you or others could possibly ship to them during their stay. Offer to be their liaison to keep the list current.
  • Send care packages Including items from their “possibilities list”:
    • Food Items they can’t purchase where they are
    • Books you know they love
    • Newspapers from home (make sure the country will allow)
    • Pictures of current events
    • Homemade candy at holiday time
  • Write letters (Use Postal Service– email is nice but handwritten is wonderful)
  • Send them a subscription to their favorite magazine
  • Send weekly emails
  • Schedule a call with them – The anticipation of the call as well as the call can be an encouragement
  • Share positive things you have heard about them/their mission work
  • Encourage young people to be a pen pal to the children of missionaries 
  • Schedule your vacation to visit them – A visit to a foreign mission work is life changing for you as well as a huge encouragement to the missionaries.
  • Create a safe environment for them (Read the book: Safe People by Cloud & Townsend)
  • Be one of their balcony people (Read the book: Balcony People by Joyce Landorf Heatherly)
