|PIC1|Since Nelson's Coaches of Influence sports ministry office is part of the Stampendous office network, he delighted in taking her for a visit to the Stampendous factory and introducing her to some of the staff.
Delma felt she was in stamp heaven. Not only did she receive a guided tour of the factory, but she was given a generous bundle of samples to take back to Australia to use in her ministry.
"I was very excited and I couldn't help but walking around the display areas time and time again, as I imagined how I might use such an array of card-stamps," Delma Tronson explained.
Having arrived home, Delma Tronson has already created a batch of fresh hand-crafted cards with these Stampendous card-stamps.
Delma Tronson's hand crafted cards that are utilised in her and her husband Mark's ministries inspire as they are so meticulous and full of colour that when someone receives such a card, they know 'they have received a loving expression'.
Mark sends them to AIS athletes and coaches, Australian cricketers and coaches, and those in the corporate world in his scope of ministry and ministry friends, whereas Delma sends them to those in her ministry arena, such as the elderly, shut-ins, those who are sick or who are celebrating.
"Delma's hand-crafted card ministry carries with an astonishing love and care component that cannot be quantified. Delma also runs occasional tutorial classes on card-making at the Gold Coast's Tugun Baptist Church Tuesday craft mornings," M V Tronson explained.
