Transitioning from a cross-cultural assignment is a process that takes time and is best achieved with the support of trained, and experienced personnel. No need to undertake this journey alone. Let us help connect you with others who can walk alongside you, providing safety and nurturing along the way.
ReBoot Vision:
To provide a safe place for Canadian MKs of all ages to review their life stories and be refreshed through worship and peer relationships, in order to navigate the on-going transition to Canadian life and culture with God's grace.
"I had a life-giving experience at Blue Bronna in July 2018. I felt that the camp was paced and organized just for what I needed. There were group meals (all cooked over an outdoor grill), morning meditation, alone time and a physical challenge in the afternoon. In the evening we had a sharing time around the fire where we took turns telling our stories. This was one of the parts I enjoyed most; profound times of vulnerability and listening. The whole week I had a feeling that I haven't experienced for years; it was that feeling of letting down my guard, participating in conversation and connecting with the other MKs within hours of meeting them for the first time. It was a relief to join in the conversation topics of this group compared with the attempts at conversation I make in other settings. We talked about ethnic foods, geography, languages, funny habits we've picked up around the world, cultures, family and other themes that were familiar to us. I can't neglect to mention the beautiful, refreshing setting because we were camped in a pine forest on the bank of a clear icy mountain stream. And the tents we slept in and ate our meals under were made of logs and canvas. During the week I recall feeling safe, appreciated, and a sense of belonging."

TESTIMONIES What MKs are saying... (Part II) "You will regret not coming if you have the option because the staff are here to support you, and whether you think you need help or not, you will at least get to hang out with similar-thinking MKs." Read More...
