Women continued to ask for practical projects that local groups could participate in. The Campbell Soup Label project began with women saving enough soup labels to provide two electric pencil sharpeners for Hillcrest. That continuing project over the years has provided VCRs, video cameras, a movie projector and larger equipment to help in the Christian high school education of many teens.

Testimonies of current missionaries were included in each woman’s National Convention Annual Report as another way to get to know them. Women continued to pray, and send letters and cards to them and their families, using the birthdates and addresses also included. They also sent small packets of items that were hard to find in foreign countries, such as kool-aid, jello, and dry cereal, using lists of suggestions that had been compiled.

Some national projects included supporting a Chinese evangelist in Taiwan, furnishing guest houses in Garoua, Cameroon for missionaries to use, finances for LB Seminary faculty to take a sabbatical year for further education, a van to transport people to assist Home Mission congregations, publishing materials for “Lamplighters,” a children’s program for churches, and a “News and Views” newsletter for youth workers in the USA and Canada.

In 1984 a pocket-sized WMF Handbook was distributed, with tips on “Organizing a WMF,” a sample constitution, program ideas, and ideas for activities to help new groups as well as old.
