Into All The World | Travis & Teri Snode

Teri sent this list to me from a friend on Facebook who compiled a list of ways to be a blessing to missionaries.  The list was prepared to teach a Pastor’s Wives’ class in Bible College.  Maybe some of the ideas will help you.  Feel free to comment with other ideas you may have.
