(Thanks “Macon!”)

I’ll have to admit, it’s a compelling service. Operated by a couple of Campus Crusade alumni, it has the distinct advantage of being a custom missionary-mailing site. In other words, they think like we think. As a result, I was able to configure the mailing with a lot more specificity relative to what I normally send out. Pricing-wise, it didn’t look that much different, really. What’s more, they offer some really great features — and it was easy to find them. Like… including a reply envelope (with a stamp, if you like), using a decorative stamp on the outside of the envelope, supplying a mailing list (that you can update), and much more. Of course, the service comes at a price but if you’re overseas, it just might help you do something that volunteers would find difficult, especially since it’s very repetitive. Check it out — it’s worth the look.
