How to Bless A Missionary: Practical Ideas for Your Church and Family, by Jennifer Brannon. Self-published, 2018. 160 pages.
This is a quick read, but as a book it goes into greater depth than other formats can provide on the topic of showing missionaries you care.
After a brief exploration of what it means to bless someone, the author unpacks more than 100 practical ideas, from the tried-and-true ways supporters blessed her family when she was growing up in Mexico to newer strategies you may not have thought of. It’s seasoned with stories and examples and also offers a gentle dose of how-to detail and tips on what not to do. The author has a blog, FamiliesforMissions.com, though it’s a little sparse.
