You've done the work to raise your support...
now it's time to talk about how to stay funded.
what if
things could be different
Too many missionaries leave the field because of lack of funding and loneliness. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The truth: meaningful partnerships don't just happen. They require intentionality and good communication. Donor care is so much more than just writing the perfect newsletter, and I'm here to show you what works best in 2026 and how to make a plan for you and your ministry.
it's simple
your donors want to hear from you
You probably didn't enter the mission field to check email, write thank you's, and brainstorm your next short story. But your to-do list says otherwise.
​
Take a minute and imagine....
​​
What would it look like to be fully funded, enjoy writing ministry updates, and have deep, meaningful connections with your ministry partners?
What would it look like to have systems, strategies, and confidence that when you sit down to write, writing your newsletter won’t take all day?
What would it look like to say goodbye to doubt and hello to clarity?
Your donors need to hear from you...because when they know what you do, they can fund what you do.

summer cohort:
Donor Care
Done Well
hey friend...
​All training is done by videos you can watch on your timeline. Additionally, I’m offering four different live call options across the summer. Join what you can, watch the replays when you need.
If you’ve been praying for “stronger funding” or “better relationships with your supporters” this is your nudge: sign up!
​
Spots are intentionally limited so the group can connect well. Save your seat today.
p.s. If you are "too busy"
Q&A
Who is this for?
Christian missionaries and ministry workers who raise funds for salary/ministry expenses.
​
Is this for US-based or international missionaries?
Both! Whether you are from the US or another country, or you live stateside or in another country, I promise this will be beneficial. Almost all of my recommendations can be completed via email. The heart of it: good communication = stronger partnerships. That's a human truth!
How long will I have access to the materials?
Access to the course materials begins June 10.
What if I'm fully funded?
Praise God! The foundation of all of my trainings and resources is that good communication = stronger partnerships. I still think you'll learn valuable information about communicating creatively and honoring your current partnerships, even though you don't need to launch a huge initiative to raise lots of money.
​
I'm really busy. Is NOW the right time?
YES! I'm offering four live calls so we can connect across the summer. Join for whatever works...but don't worry about missing out, because the cohort trainings are all done by videos that can be watched on your timeline. Your donors need this. You need this. I hope to see you this summer!
​
How often do these cohorts happen?
Three times a year: January, June, and September. Each group is 8 weeks.
I want to gift this to someone else. Can I do that?
100%. Let's make it happen! You can do that through this simple link, or you can send me an email to wordsmithforservice@gmail.com.

Sabrina, campus missionary with
The Navigators
"I feel empowered to send effective newsletters without it taking up too much of my time."
Rebekah, serving with Commission to Every Nation
"Emily's resources helped me to refresh my newsletter routine. I feel inspired to be a better communicator to my sponsors!"
Nicki, serving with Cru Albania
"If you’re looking not just to improve how you communicate with partners, but also to transform your mindset around communication, Wordsmith Services is the place to go."
I've got you
I get you, I promise. I've walked where you're walking, and I know what it feels like to sit at a blank page and feel the gut punch of "what do I say now???"
​
For a season, I, too, was a missional fundraiser, trusting the Lord for my salary and ministry expenses and writing updates to send around the world.
​
I've also been in the shoes of your donors: praying, funding, and receiving ministry updates.
​
Uniquely, I've had the joy of coaching missionaries from many corners of the world, teaching newsletter writing, Mailchimp and Canva how-tos, and training gospel workers to communicate well with their donors.
​
I've got a BA in Communication and Professional Writing, fundraising experience, donor experience, time working in nonprofit communications, and a big heart for the Lord and his people, so I hope you can trust when I say truly, it can be different.
​
Would you let me show you how?
