Regular newsletters are very important in our work. Many of our readers automatically get our newsletter by email.
Newsletters allow us to stay in touch with supporters and to share special needs and prayer requests; they are a vital lifeline between congregations back home and our mission field.
They also allow congregations to see and understand what God is doing here in Panama and in our ministry in Latin America.
Normally, we use an email newsletter to keep you informed, and likewise, you can also stay informed on the website automatically Subscribe to the feed a reader or Subscribe by email.
The need
We are in need of a person or a small group to take on the role of printing out and mailing our printed letters.
We have supporters who do not use email, or even computers, and as such, we need to get printed materials in their hands.
The postal system here exists, but functions nothing like the US Postal service. To post something from here to the US is not very efficient, timely, or cheap.
One of the many ways you can help support us is by helping to publish our newsletter.
Publishing a missionary newsletter to our entire list involves a fair amount of effort. At this point, we plan only for those few who do not use email, so we expect that the workload will be small.
We also invite a limited commitment of 12 months so that it is not a permanent responsibility. Lives change so we don’t expect you to take this on forever.
What is involved?
We will send you a 8×11" letter ready to print, stuff in an envelope and mail.
Sometimes it’ll be more than one letter, other times it’ll just be one.
Occasionally, we’ll ask you to put our photo in there as well (we will have 20 printed for you at your local Walgreens, CVS, or Sam’s club for you to pick up).
Most of your service to us will be the time and effort associated with
- printing
- folding
- inserting
- stuffing
- addressing
- stamping
- mailing
What now?
Would you consider helping us in this way?
Doesn’t matter where in the US you are. As long as you can color print and stamp a letter for us as needed, this would help us greatly.
Simply contact us to volunteer, or reply to the email pitch that we have sent you.
