Deputation can place serious demands on your time, but you’ll want to be consistent with your communication schedule nonetheless.
Depending on where you are in your journey to the field, establishing a regular dispatch schedule can create a personal bond between you and your supporters and followers. The earlier you set this schedule and follow through on it, the more you and your supporters will benefit.
They’ll expect updates on your deputation progress, scheduled time of arrival at your ultimate destination, prayer requests along the way, and other information that keeps them abreast of your whereabouts.
Having a scheduled communication process reinforces your connection with home base.
A primary tool for growing your subscription list and sending regular dispatches is MailChimp.
Including an email signup form on your missionary website will help you promote your cause.
