the inkwell

​In an efforts to encourage those around us,
The Inkwell combines the practice of hand-writing notes
of encouragement along with prayer for the recipient.
We suggest purposefully considering those serving the Lord in
ministry — pastors, missionaries, church leaders, ministry workers --
who daily pour themselves out for God and others.
These servants often work with little support, encouragement,
or time for renewal, and can benefit greatly
from this kind of connection.
​
While The Inkwell centers around those in ministry,
we know that the need for encouragement is limitless
— those who are ill, the elderly, those serving in the military,
friends in difficult times, new moms/families, teachers — 

the list is extensive.

For any of these folks (truly any of us),
knowing someone took the time
to hand-write a note and pray specifically for them
gives a real boost of courage. 

This idea encourages individuals to “adopt” a pastor/worker
by committing to pray for them consistently for a year,
and send a monthly hand-written card with a note,
verse or other encouragement.
Suggested involvement can range from simply prayer and cards,
to phone calls, emails, visits,
​and other interactions as God leads and builds connections.

SUGGESTED DIRECTIONS

AREA OF INTEREST: writing, encouraging, card making, prayer
ACTION: hand-write monthly cards to send to a pastor/missionary/ministry worker. These can be sent to:
  • pastor/pastor's wife
  • missionaries
  • ministry workers
  • others who need encouragement 
WHO: this project could be done individually, with your children, or with a group of friends.
CONNECTION: choose a recipient and get their mailing address. You could contact your church, a mission organization, or look through your address book for ideas. 
INTERACTION: as you write and pray, ask the recipient for specific prayer requests or how you might be able to support/encourage them further. 


GUIDELINES: Each card should be hand-written, positive in content, and each recipient covered in prayer.
