By policy, ISMK does not give out personal information of MKs. If you would like to be a pen pal with a missionary kid, we recommend you talk to your senior pastor, missions committee leader, or district council office about families that your church already supports, or are from your district. Your church already supports missionary families, and all of their contact information will be available to you in their newsletters. Due to the sensitive nature of some assignments, we are not always able to forward mail to MKs that is sent to our office.
