Hi Friends,
Let me introduce myself, I'm Molly a wife, mother, and a new follower in Christ.
Why did I decide to start a snail mail club? I stumbles upon a YouTube video about a woman who started her own club,The Tiny Post to grow closer to her community. I thought what a concept, mail you actually wanted to open, and then the nostalgia started kicking in. You see, I was part of the chain mail generation where you were told you'd be cursed for 20 years if you didn't keep it going.
Throughout the month the idea of a snail mail club kept popping up in my head I loved everything about the idea but I wanted to make it something I was passionate about. I quickly realized I wanted to build a community centered on faith.
Over the past two years God has been working overtime to help me find him. It was a long painful road filled with anxiety, depression, and at times, hopelessness, but on August 14, 2025 I declared my faith in him and was baptized.
I don't know about you but my faith is strongest when I am in community discussing what I'm going through, hearing others' testimonies, and seeing how God is moving through us. As I prayed over this project—what would be meaningful, bring us together, and grow our faith—I also decided the proceeds would go to churches in the community we build together. I am guilty of worshipping at the altar of money and wanted this to be driven by faith not a potential ROI.
As I kept praying and thinking about what to include in this monthly care package I decided on obvious things to include like (You will notice direct inspiration from The Tiny Post):
- A heartfelt letter rooted in vulnerability & connection
- Stickers for your journal, water bottle, or wherever you see fit!
- A surprise paper good (think bookmarks, mini prints, scripture)
I wanted to include you and I thought of this in two ways. One thing I want to include is a letter of Hope. This would be a testimony or story of how God is moving through you. If yours is selected to be included in the care package we will donate that month's letter proceeds to the church of your choosing.
Additionally I wanted to have our community grow closer together by including a prayer request. Anyone may submit a prayer requests, and I will include one in each package. Not everyone will receive the same request and it is my hope that we get so many that every care package has a unique request. I want these care packages to feel personal, a two way communication not just me talking about myself.
And finally I wanted to include a prayer from me to you and your family. As you can see I am a new believer and prayer is still a bit awkward and foreign to me but I still hope to pray over you and your family and grow together in prayer.
Now what can you expect from my letters? As a new follower reading the Bible for the first time I hope to come to you as a friend and share what God is teaching me, what I have questions about, and what he is revealing to me. I hope my early walk with God might give you some laughs, some encouragement, some deep thinking, and maybe even some nostalgia from your walk.
One thing I promise is that these letters will be in my own words from the heart, spelling mistakes and all. I will not use apps like ChatGPT to write or rearrange these for me, I want to show up as authentically as possible which means it won't be perfect but it will be real.
See you in my next letter,
Molly
Founder of the Prayer and Paper Society
