What to Include in a Missionary Care Package
Missionary-Blogs.com is currently running a writing project about what to include in a missionary care package. The rules of the writing project is as follows:Write about what you'd love to get in a care package, but explain why (so I know what is country-specific). You could also talk about packaging, ways to ship, what not to send, etc if that's an issue. Think big, small, unusual and creative. Think ministry-related, personal enjoyment or family encouragement.Well, here are a few things that I consider to be good for a missionary care package, at least for us...
What to include in a letter:
- Koolaid Packet (it fits into most envelopes)
- I used to enjoy getting these when I first started over here, when I was single and had no kids...
- Hot Chocolate Packet
- Tea Bags
- Coffee Bag / Packet
- Money
What to include in a mid-sized package:
- Favourite Television Series DVDs
- For us right now it would be Corner Gas Season 4 and The Office (American Version) Season 3
- Kraft Dinner (but not for Australia as Customs will take it)
- Beef Jerky (same goes as the Kraft Dinner for Australia)
- Sun-Flower Seeds (Spitz)
- Chocolate
- Kid's Clothes (obviously only for families)
- Books & Magazines
- Music CDs
- Coffee (Tim Horton's is definitely our favourite)
- Vitamins and Medicines (Bulk from Costco)
- Adult Clothing
- Laptop / Computer
- Stuffed Moose / Bear Head (for Caleb's Canadian Themed Bedroom)
- Kid's Toys
- Kid's Board Books and Audio Books
- Ice Hockey Sticks & Street Hockey Balls
- Calgary Flames Jersey
