Every family your church sends, one visit away.
Missionary Lane turns prayer cards and newsletters into a gallery your congregation can walk through. Each family has a kiosk with their photos, their latest letter read aloud, what to pray for, and today's news from where they serve.
No card needed to start. Most churches are set up in an afternoon.
Stop at a kiosk and you meet the family.
Visitors walk a 3D hall on a phone, computer or VR headset, or browse a list or a world map. Every kiosk is designed for its family, from their own letters and the place they serve.
- Their photos play as a slideshow, alongside video updates they've shared.
- Their latest letter is read aloud in a natural voice, or shown exactly as they sent it.
- Prayer requests and praises are taken from the letter so they're easy to pray through.
- Local time, weather and news refresh on their own, so you know what their day looks like.
Your church's look, not ours.
Every gallery wears its church's colours, fonts and logo, picked up from the church's own website. Try a few:
Follow Jesus around the world.
Visit the families our church sends: their photos, their letters read aloud, and how to pray.
Walk the LaneSee all missionariesEasy for the missions committee to keep current.
Drop in a newsletter
Upload the PDF or phone photos of a printed letter. AI reads it, pulls out prayer requests and writes the spoken introduction. You approve anything before it shows.
It looks like your church
Enter your website address and the gallery picks up your colours, fonts and logo. Put it on your site with one snippet or the WordPress plugin.
Careful with sensitive details
Phone numbers and home addresses stay hidden. Families in sensitive places can appear with only an alias and a region. Every staff account uses two-step sign-in.
Bring your own AI, or don't
Use credits included in your plan, or connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure or ElevenLabs account. Switch any time.

Rather run it yourself?
Churches that want to host their own gallery can request self-hosting access. Approved churches sign the self-hosting license, which covers using Missionary Lane for their own congregation, and then receive the desktop app for Mac and Windows.
The app walks a volunteer through setting up the database, choosing where the gallery lives, matching your church's look and adding AI and voice keys, and keeps everything up to date afterwards. It publishes to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Amazon S3 and compatible storage, or ordinary web hosting over FTP and SFTP.
- Any AI provider, including OpenAI-compatible servers you run
- Any voice: ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Google, Azure or Amazon Polly
- Keys are stored encrypted and never shown again
- Embeds in WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and Subsplash
Questions churches ask
Do we need someone technical?
No. The hosted version runs in a web browser, every setup screen is written in plain language, and anything can be changed later.
Will AI change what our missionaries wrote?
No. Letters are shown as written. AI only reads them to list prayer requests and praises and to write the spoken introductions, and you can edit those before they appear.
How is sensitive information protected?
Each church's information is kept apart from every other church's. Phone numbers and mailing addresses stay hidden unless you turn them on, families in sensitive places can be shown with only an alias and region, and staff accounts require an authenticator app.
Can it live on our church website?
Yes. Link to it, paste one snippet into your site builder, or install the WordPress plugin. Paid plans can also use your own address, such as missions.yourchurch.org.
