A period of reflection for individuals and families who work cross culturally.
At this 5-day program you will meet others who understand the unique stressors and joys of missionary service and reentry. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your experiences, to consider the impact of events and relationships, to grieve the losses and disappointments, to explore the challenges of transition and to celebrate the successes. This is done in the context of discussions, personal reflection, group and individual debriefing and is led by experienced cross-cultural workers who ‘get it’.
There will be specialized sessions for all age groups that will enable the whole family to process their experiences.
Importance of Third Party Debriefing
Missionaries transitioning from living cross-culturally have stories of joys and challenges. Debriefing their experience honours God’s call by recognizing and celebrating His fingerprints along the journey. A third party debriefing will provide the extra time, experience and confidentiality that missionary organizations may not be able to offer. As well, sharing and learning with other transitioning missionaries in a small group setting has proven to be very enriching.
