We just wanted to pass along a helpful tip we received years ago. We implemented this idea in our family about 10 years ago, and since it's been a blessing to us, we thought we'd pass it along.
I'm sure most of you receive numerous letters and emails from missionaries and mission organizations. If not, find an organization that tugs on your heart and subscribe to their newsletter. Take a few minutes at the dinner table to read it, or a portion of it, out loud. Take time to discuss it as you deem appropriate, and then pray for the organization or the missionaries as a family. It will not only be a blessing for your family as you are encouraged and inspired, but your prayers will be a blessing to the missionary/organization.
(Another tip we found helpful…once we receive the letters, we stick them in a cupboard near our dining table so they are handy come dinner time. For email newsletters, we print them immediately and do the same.)
