Check with the missionary after he or she is on the field to find out about duty costs. In some cases, it is very expensive to receive packages. Back to list of options Distribute a newsletter . Southern Baptist missionaries are encouraged to write regular newsletters to their supporters at home. By duplicating and mailing the newsletters, you can help make that job easier and less expensive for the missionary.
Many missionaries use personal computers.
If you will be receiving the newsletter by e-mail, make sure that the software used is compatible. Discuss whether art or photos will be used. If so, work out a process to make sure you publish quality reproductions. Strive for a match between the missionary's expectations and what your church is willing and able to do. Discuss how often the newsletter will be distributed, how many people will be on the mailing list, who will produce the master copy and who will pay for costs involved.
