What Makes a Good Prayer Letter
Writing prayer letters can be a very daunting task at times, but they are very important to your supporting churches and readers. So what makes a good prayer letter?

What are your readers looking to read about in your letters? These items do change a bit between a deputation missionary and a field missionary, but the main eleme […]

Letterhead Suggestions

- Regarding printing your mailing address on your letterhead, you mi […]

Email Safety
Recently, some of our missionaries received an email purportedly from Pastor Wilkerson. The email, which was a hoax, asked the recipient to purchase a gift card.

For this reason, email safety is a key concern to all internet users, including missionaries.
