Greeting Cards

Greeting Cards are a common expression of love at special times. Families celebrate holidays and special occasions together. Even though as missionaries we can't be home for the holidays all the time, we can still celebrate with our family of supporters by sending cards. Those occasions, along with birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc., create and strengthen the bonds we have with our journey mates. Sending mail from overseas can be expensive, but it is well worth the effort.

Another way in which to send cards is through our favorite tool - Send Out Cards

The reason we love this service is that you can send cards to a group of people all at the same time, personalized with their name, and YOUR handwriting and signature!* With a few clicks of a button on-line you can send as many as you want. For example, you may have your main list of 50 to 75 people who have given in the past. In a couple of minutes you can send a holiday card off to all of them on the list, addressed to them personally:

"Dear (their first name):

Just wanted to drop you a note at this time of year that we all rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord.

We so appreciate your partnership with us as we proclaim the risen Lord here in Asia.

Many Blessings,

Curt & Kay"

It works much the same way as a merge file in a word processor, but the handwriting and signature is YOURS. The time and money savings is substantial. It can take hours to get to a store, pick out cards, write them all, address and stuff the envelopes and then put on the postage. Send Out Cards is far quicker and far cheaper to get the job done.

Another perk of the Send Out Cards system is that you will also have all your supporters contact information in their data base system so you can access an address, phone number, etc. anytime or anywhere you have a internet connection. This is also a good back-up strategy in case your personal computer fails.

*This is an added service to Send Out Cards that you can sign up for. The will make a scan of your signature and also a font set in your handwriting. When someone receives a postcard or greeting card, it has the look and feel that it came right from you and your pen. I've used this service for over 2 years now. The first card I sent was to my mom. I figured if she couldn't tell the difference, it would be good. A few days later we talked on the phone. She got the card. She thought I had just bought it and sent it like you would any card. She was amazed when I explained the process to her. Even with those who do figure it out, I have found the value of the thought doesn't diminish the impact of getting a card from me. The same benefit for all, but for the missionary fundraiser, relationship builder, it saves much time and money!
