Were you unable to send a Christmas present or care package to some missionaries you love this season? It’s okay. You can still bless a missionary this Christmas.
Here are some ideas to get you started, most of which you could do right now from your desk right now:
Pray specific Scripture for them and their ministry, and then email it to them.
Call or email their parents—Christmas might be just as lonely for the ones at home as the ones away.
Donate frequent flier miles to them.
Purchase an iTunes gift card for them. Have it sent to you and email them the account number.
Commit to pray for them on a specific day of the week for a year.
Write a song or poem or story for them. Email them the text and a recording of you reading or singing it.
Get friends and family together to create a holiday video greeting for them using Google Video or YouTube. Include lots of people you know they miss.
(Remember to use discernment in written or video communication if your missionaries work in security-sensitive locations.)
