• Personal note - Although the thank you card in our example was printed as a template, Ali still took the time to write a personal note on it. Hand-written, personal notes are key relationship-builders with supporters!
• Pics of smiling faces - Ali wisely got pics of the children she will be ministering among and has been able to use those pics in her MTD presentation and on other pieces, such as this example. Supporters might not know these children personally, but seeing their faces helps build yet another connection between the supporter and the people whom they're sending her to minister among. 
• Small, ministry-related gift - Included in the card was a hand-painted, wooden bookmark from the country where Ali was going to serve. This was not a gift for the sake of a gift. It tied in directly to her area of ministry and served as a reminder to the supporter of where they will be ministering through their faithful giving. (Also see See Gifts with Meaning for more gift ideas.)
• "You're on the List" insert - This served as a reminder of Ali's email prayer letter and to check if it's getting stuck in their spam or junk filters. 
• Contact Info - On the back of the card, Ali gave a large, clear opportunity for supporters to stay connected with her through other avenues (Facebook & email).  
• Welcome to the Team - Reinforcing the giver is part of a larger team that's equipping this ministry creates a sense of belonging.
