Workshop

Title: The first three years on the field: starting well

Description: An honest look at the surprises and challenges of life - for individuals, couples, and families - in missions that call for a plan to start healthy and well. Challenges to expect include health concerns, culture shock, relationship stress, limited results, financial concerns, and unexpected changes. What are common emotional reactions? How can mission candidates prepare? How can senders support their missionaries the first three years? Helpful for missions committees and candidates in building skills and resources to stay for the long-haul rather than calling it quits by the end of the first term.
