Postcard Printing & Writing Tips
Printing:
Click on the links above for your postcard choices. A PDF will download for you to print at home or save to a thumb drive and take to a local print shop. See more on printing instructions below.
Writing Tips:
Print only the front of the postcards, (just print page 1), and leave the back blank to write your own personal note.
Print both the front and the back of the pre-printed postcards. Then just add address and a postcard stamp.
Print both the front and the back of the pre-printed postcards. But instead of mailing as a postcard, you could write a personal note in place of the mailing address, and then mail the card in an envelope with a first-class stamp.

Sharing the Good News has no limits! But here are a few ideas for inspiration on how you can use postcards to share God's love and fulfill the Great Commission. Perhaps God is calling you to one of these ministries. :
1) Family and friends - don't underestimate the impact of receiving "happy mail" in the age of digital communication. It's so easy to lose touch with friends when we take a different path in life, and even with family members who live miles away. Send encouragement to local friends and family too. Connect with them all in a personal way, and send a message of God's love.
2) Global outreach - One of my favorites is a community of postcard enthusiasts called "Postcrossing". People from all over the world send postcards to each other through a system of randomly generated names and addresses. It is free to join. Please visit www.postcrossing.com for more details. I am a member and I have sent several postcards to different countries that were very well received!
3) Jails and prisons - none of us are beyond the reach of God's grace and forgiveness. Some of us on the "outside" might even be more imprisoned than those on the "inside". Reaching out to others is often the cure for many spiritual ailments. Prisoners need hope and encouragement and a simple postcard may reach their hearts in ways you never imagined. Here are a couple sites to research about correspondence with prisoners, if you feel called to this type of ministry: Crossroads Prison Ministries Women Behind Bars
4) Nursing homes - they are probably among the most forgotten in society. Perhaps some of them haven't heard about a God who loves them and has a place prepared for them when they receive Christ as their Savior. Or perhaps they are ready to hear it again. If you feel led to this type of ministry, contact your local nursing homes and ask for details on how you can send correspondence to their residents. Or reach out to those far way: Various nursing home residents looking for pen pals.
5) Other organizations for you to consider as a means to reach out and touch the lives of many:
Post Pals, More Love Letters, Postcard Pick-me-up
6) Street evangelism - use as tracts to pass out with the "4 per page" printing option. Cost effective and easy to print as needed.
Your turn! - if you have an idea on how to use our postcards to reach the world, please share in our guestbook.
Remember...we are only the messengers...trust God for the results...
~ Happy Postcard Trails! :)
