1. Send a handwritten note.
2. Buy them a gift card.
3. Share a story about what their ministry has meant to you.
4. Babysit their children.
5. Invite them to dinner.
6. Stock their pantry.
7. Thank them for a particular message that spoke to you.
8. Give them a handmade card.
9. Ask them how you can support their ministry as a volunteer.
10. Pray for them.
