Key Takeaway
Your missionaries need help promoting their efforts, both to garner prayers and for their mission trip fundraising efforts.
Today we have a number of tools at our disposal to get the word out beyond a Sunday church announcements. Social media, email, mailers, and even a big event to spread the word and get people excited to get involved.
If your church supports a missionary, ask them how you can support them with social media efforts to spread awareness of their project.
