When our missionaries visit the home office, we always try to give them a good meal, debrief them, let them tell us of their work, ask a lot of good questions and them we pray for them. We all gather around them, put our hands on them or on each other in a kind of prayer chain of contact and pray.
Somehow there is just something special about the Biblical format of laying hands on someone and praying for them. For many of our people it is the highlight of their time with us. We always take a picture and give them a copy. It is one way we can feel that we are sending the out properly.
We pray every day for our missionaries in some way, and a group and individually, but I try never to miss the group prayer and "laying of of hands." I get a blessing from it too.
