If you would prefer to receive a printed version of a letter you read on this site, just let your missionary know – we've made it easy and cost-effective for them to send printed letters.
If you are currently receiving large E-Mails from a missionary with letters attached, please refer them to prayerletters.us, and hopefully we can make it easier for them to keep in touch with you.
MinistryUpdates.org exists to make it easy for missionaries to send you updates by E-Mail without filling up your inbox or requiring you to have the same software and fonts that they used to write the letter.
Here's how it works:
The missionary sends us their letter and mailing list (for printed letters) in nearly any format, by web or E-Mail.
We create a simple web site for them containing an easy-to-read copy of their letter.
The missionary then sends you a short E-Mail letting you know that a new letter is online, without needing to attach the letter to the E-Mail.
Since the letter is available online rather than in your E-Mail, there's no risk of the E-Mail not getting to you because it's too big.
