An Amish pen pal relationship can be rewarding
We often get asked here at Amish America about how to find an Amish pen-pal. Amish do correspond with “English” friends and acquaintances. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of requests, we’re not able to match individuals up with Amish pen-pals.
However, that does not mean that you can’t try to find an Amish pen pal, and with a bit of motivation, you may even find success. Here are a few ideas on how you might do that:
How to find an Amish pen pal
- Get to know some Amish people. This is probably the best way. Next time you are visiting an Amish community, strike up conversation with the owner of a business, such as a roadside stand, quilt shop, or furniture company. Depending on the type of business, Amish business people tend to be oriented to the non-Amish public. Getting to know someone face-to-face is a great way to stimulate interest in a pen-pal relationship. You might even leave your contact information behind with an invitation to drop you a line sometime, or even send a note thanking the Amish proprietor for their time and letting them know how you’ve enjoyed their pie/quilt/handcrafted furniture item.
- Get to know some people who know some Amish people. You may have a relative, friend, or business acquaintance that has contact with Amish families. This may be a good outlet to express your interest and make contact. Share a bit about who you are and why you are interested. Amish are often interested in contact with non-Amish individuals. Amish typically lead busy lives, but writing letters is one hobby enjoyed by many.
There are probably other ways to find an Amish pen pal in addition to these. Another thing that might help you connect with Amish is to learn more about Amish beliefs and practices.
Amish people appreciate a genuine desire to understand their faith, beliefs, and motivations. To learn more about Amish life, try this list of commonly-asked questions about Amish. Also, subscribe to this blog to receive updates, news, and information on Amish communities.

Amish are good people that I have great respect for.
The always sometimes get put down because of their beliefs and ways of living. That is so wrong. I grew up in a very strict religious home. People who make fun if other people because of the way they live or their beliefs should take a long look at thenselves and maybe the Good Lord will show them the right path to follow.

Hi, if you give me your e-mail I’ll get in touch. I’m old-order Amish, single, and a Nursing Assistant @ a local nursing home and frequently stop in to check e-mail when I pass the library.
How?
I live right next door to an old order Amish community. And have many friends in Amish communities around my area. I was wondering how you get away with using a computer. They don’t even permit the usage of an englisher cell phone. If only for a second. We don’t play music when they come over for fear that they won’t come back.
We all love God and suppose to love each other.I love everything about the Amish.If your still interested in penal let me know.

Christian women seeking Amish friendship
I read a lot of Amish related books (Beverly Lewis for one), and wonder what you think about the books? All I know is that I wish I had an Amish friend. When I see an Amish family walking through a store, I want so much to say hello, but don’t know if they prefer not to be spoken to by someone not Amish. I am 67….married with six grandchildren. Sure would love to hear from you….sincerely, I would. E-mail or letters. Thanks!

Amish Penpal Wanted
I would appreciate being able to converse with an Amish lady as a penpal. I am 43 and live in South Africa, so I can’t visit any Amish communities. I was radically saved in 2007 and the Lord told me to come out oif the world. I have struggled with this and been ridiculed for my faith, but I have raised my children without TV and other wordly things. I have home schooled my kids, the youngest is 11. My son has now had to go to high school but it is a hard walk because it is a ‘Christian’ school but not in the real sense. He is ridiculed and persecuted for his committment to purity, chastity and Christiian values. My husband is a carpenter. We have three horses that my son and I gently broke in, and oine ex-racehorse we rescued. We would love to build a buggy and start a community here that has the same values, but need help and advice on a number of issues.

One amish girl wrote me when I was around 15 y.o

Are Amish open minded. I’m Catholic, French, and I’d like to find an Amish pen pal. Just to enjoy a friendship, and learn about their culture. I’m open minded, and never try to force other people in my views, but is the opposite true?
Would love to find an Amish pen pal.
I love the Amish way of life. I frequently visit Lancaster Pa. I would love to find a pen pal to learn more about the Amish faith and culture.

Warning to the children of YHWH
To those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
I have been studying quite a bit lately and have found that the nation of Mystery Babylon appears to be the U.S. and believe it will soon be partaking of His wrath.
I want the Amish to receive this message and to be spared as they seem to live in a manner consistent with the teachings.
Those who can, please contact those in the community and those who serve Him to guide them away from the wrath of the almighty.
Sincerely, Christopher
