You are in the middle of your mission trip and having a great time.
You are reminded of all the people who helped you get there—the ones who prayed and financially supported you. You want to express your appreciation to them. You want them to know how thankful you are for their kindness, but you don’t want to wait until you get home to show your gratitude.
What do you do?
You give your cell phone to a colleague and ask him to take a picture of you in your unique setting. He does and hands the phone back to you. You click on the phone’s WYWH app button and select the photo you just took. The photo now fills the screen. You touch the screen again and it shows the back of a postcard, which is where you type out your message.
Thanks so much for making this trip possible. This is a great experience and some amazing things are happening here. Can’t wait to get home and tell you all about it.
Next you select your supporter from your phone’s address book before hitting the send button. Then just like that, you have a printed postcard on its way to your donor before you get home from your trip! This isn’t an email postcard or electronic greeting card—it’s the real thing delivered by the U.S. Postal Service.
Imagine the look on your supporter’s face when he or she goes to the mailbox and gets the postcard of you on your mission trip.
You don’t have to imagine with WYWH–an amazing service that turns your photo into a quality postcard and mails it for you. It will work from anywhere in the world, just as long as your phone can access the Internet.
WYWH has an app for the iPhone, but any Internet-enabled cell phone can use the service. The app is free, but there is a cost for each card you send. If you buy in bulk and pre-pay, you can send a postcard for as little as $1.30—which is probably a lot less than if you were to buy a card overseas and mail it internationally. It’s also a lot faster since the postcard is printed and mailed within the U.S. Plus, it is completely customized. It is your picture and your message!
Your first two postcards are free. Go to www.wywh.net to sign up and get more information. We have used this service and have been very pleased. It is a great way to say “thank you” to those who made your trip possible.
Mission trips—there’s an app for that!
