Most often when talking about mission work in the Church, we are talking about our Church people giving money in order to support our leadership around the world.
However, there are other ways to help support our work on the field. You could simply send a note saying that you are praying for those who are serving in missions. Or you could send a note of encouragement telling that you appreciate those who serve in foreign fields. Another way to support missions is to volunteer to go on a mission trip and help build a church building, teach a Bible class, or teach an entrepreneurial class or skill. As I referred to earlier, a person can always give money to help with the work, whether it is through project giving or giving to support the work allotments and leadership in the various countries.
