How to Care for Your Missionary Retirees

Your church's missionaries dedicated their lives to serving the Lord. They gave up their homes and families, and they sometimes sacrificed lucrative careers or even their own health when they took the gospel to those who needed it most. Their service deserves our honor, even in their retirement years.
