you to connect with them, and to have a part in their
work on the mission field. Ask them any questions
you're wondering about. What is the vision and mission
that God has given them? Do they have any particular
prayer needs, or special projects going?

4) Ask if they have a newsletter so you can be informed
of their current updates. As God touches your heart
over what you read, pray for that.

5) Ask God if He would have you become a monthly
giver to His work through this missionary. If so, ask God
what amount you're to give, and follow the steps to
begin your giving.
