This time of year, our Missions Catalyst calendar is full of retreats and debriefing opportunities for missionaries—see below. They can super helpful, but may also be expensive and are not always convenient. Do you (or someone you know) need one but can’t make it work?
Global Trellis has developed a seven-day self-debriefing course cross-cultural workers can use anywhere anytime. Designed to be completed during two hours a day for seven days, it can also be used as a weekend intensive.
Either way, the idea is to help missionaries feel lighter and less overwhelmed as they process the good and the bad and make a record of what they’ve experienced over the last 12 months.
Know someone coming back for good? Melissa Chaplin’s book Returning Well is a helpful resource.
Don’t forget that short-termers need debriefing, too. You could start with this list of debriefing questions (SEND International).
