A mission map of every area they served
A mission is lived one area at a time, on foot, on a bike or on a bus. A mission map shows the whole mission on one poster, with a pin and a name for each area they served, so those places stay on the wall after they come home.
Add their areas, their name, the mission and the years they served, and give it at the homecoming. For a farewell, map the city they have been called to.

Adding the areas
Search each town, city or ward where they served and add it as an area. A poster holds up to 12 areas, in the order you choose.
Each area gets a pin and a short name beside it, up to 24 letters. We start with the first part of the place name, and you can change it to the ward or the name they used.
The map zooms out to fit every pin. Areas close together show their streets. Areas far apart show the main roads, rivers and coast of the whole region.
A gift for the farewell or the homecoming
At a farewell, a mission map shows the city the missionary has been called to, so the family can find it on the wall. At the homecoming, it shows every area they served, with the years in the caption.
A set with the missionary star map
Pair the mission map with a missionary star map of the night they left or the night they came home. Both come in the same sizes and frames, so they hang well together.
Picking colors
Light themes such as White and Nautical suit bright rooms and pale walls. Midnight blue and Black stand out on a light wall and look calm in a darker room. A black or natural frame suits both.
Questions
No. It suits any missionary, volunteer or church worker. The poster carries the map and your words, and nothing on it belongs to one church.
No. It carries the map and the title, subtitle and caption you write. Star Crossed Skies is an independent shop. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any church.
Yes. Add up to 12 areas. Each one gets a pin and a short name, and the map zooms out to fit them all.
Use the years they served. The name of the mission, the coordinates of the first area or a short verse also work.
Many missions have rules about what a missionary can receive, so ask before you send anything to the field. The farewell and the homecoming are the easiest moments to give it.
