Ministry updates from $159 · No subscription required

You have incredible stories and experiences to share. You know your ministry partners deserve to hear them. But somewhere between the work and the inbox, the update doesn't happen. Life is busy. The work is exhausting. Momentum fades.

Execution is the gap.
That's what Field & Post closes.

How it works

Here's what we need from you:

01
Share the story.

A voice memo, an outline, or an email — whatever's easiest for you. Share your story and communication ideas.

02
Send a few photos.

Whatever you have. We'll use anything and everything.

03
We do the rest.

Writing, design, printing, stuffing, postage, mailing. Whatever you need, we can handle for you.

We write the copy, design the layout, print it on paper, stuff it in an envelope, and put it in the mail First-Class, addressed to every ministry partner on your list. First-Class means your update is forwarded when partners move and lands in mailboxes in days, not weeks.

Your message goes from your mouth to your mailing list in as little as a week.

Ministry update, newsletter, prayer letter — whatever you need, we make sure it gets sent and looks great.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Donor communication isn't an admin task.

The people who support your work said yes to something real. They want to know what's going on. Consistent, well-told stories laid out in thoughtful newsletters are what keep them engaged, giving, and interceding for you well beyond year one.

From the field, for the field

Run by people who've done it.

Field & Post is run by former cross-cultural workers who've spent years on the field both domestically and abroad, including in locations where every word that went home had to be chosen carefully. They know the voice workers write in, what ministry partners respond to, and what it feels like to let another update slip. We built this service because we wish we had had it.

What workers say

Real feedback from the field.

I recorded a voice memo in the car on a Tuesday. The draft came back sounding like me, not like a fundraising form letter. Two weeks later, ministry partners I hadn't heard from in a year were replying. ... I'd been trying and failing to send this update for eight months.

We serve somewhere we can't name publicly, and I was nervous about handing anyone our partner list or our stories. Kyle got it immediately. No sensitive terms, everything routed through us for review before print. Our sending organization signed off without a single change.
M.
Serving in a sensitive location
Fourteen years on the field and our updates had gone quiet and so had some of our support. A year on the annual plan changed that. The updates go out every quarter whether life cooperates or not, the list stays clean, and giving has been steadier than it's been in years. It pays for itself.

FAQ

Common questions

How does the voice memo thing work?
You talk; we write. Record 3–5 minutes on your phone — what happened, what mattered, what's next — and send it with a few photos. We turn it into a written, designed ministry update in your voice and send you a draft to approve before anything prints.
What does the price include?
A credit is one complete ministry update, produced start to finish: a voice memo or a 20-minute call — however you want to tell us what's happening — we write it, we design it, unlimited revisions until you approve it, nothing prints without your written approval, printing and materials for your first 75 recipients, and we stuff, stamp, and mail it. All the writing and design is included regardless of list size — the work is the same for 40 people as for 400, which is why the credit price doesn't change. A single credit is $159; The Year is $499 for 4 credits.
What if I have more than 75 people on my list?
Recipients beyond 75 are $0.69 each, charged at send. So a list of 150 adds $51.75 in production, plus postage.
Why is postage charged separately?
Because we don't know the final count until you approve your list, and we'd rather charge exactly what the Post Office charges than pad a flat rate.
Will it sound like me?
That's the whole job. We write from your voice memo, not from a template, and we revise until you're happy — no revision limits, ever. You approve every word before it prints.
I serve in a sensitive location. Can you work within my security constraints?
Yes — our founder served in one too. We follow your security protocol exactly: no location names, no sensitive terminology, pseudonyms where needed, and nothing goes to print without your written approval. If your sending organization has a communications review process, we build it into the timeline. More on working in restricted-access contexts.
What does postage cost?
Postage is passed through at exact cost as its own line item — no markup. Every update mails First-Class, currently $0.82 per piece for a standard letter, so a 150-piece mailing runs about $123.00 in postage. First-Class means your update is forwarded when partners move and arrives in days, not weeks.
What if I don't have anything newsletter-worthy to share?
You do — that feeling is the number one reason updates don't get sent. Ministry partners don't need highlights; they want to feel like they're there with you. An ordinary week, told honestly, is exactly what gets read twice. Tell us the ordinary week and we'll find the story in it.
