Many missionaries need (soul) care after serving in the field for 3 or more years.

Missionaries are so accustomed to responding to the expectation that they need to be "the healthy and strong ones" in situations that they often neglect taking time for refreshing and replenishing their own spirits, minds, and bodies.

Your debriefer will help guide you through a course of action that enables a season of retreat, with time and space to for renewal, refreshment, and restoration..

Why debrief?

"I believe debriefing is very important for long-term missionaries. There are many things that happen in the field through which one could become numb to the suffering of others, along with denial, grief, loss, anxiety, loneliness, fear, etc. During debriefing, the Holy Spirit brings many things to the surface that you may not have been aware of, things that you have kept in your heart that weigh you down and steal the joy of serving others. Since my debrief, I feel more at peace, I am free to continue loving without becoming resentful, and my joy and love for the people groups I serve have become stronger.”"

M.P

"I've been a full-time missionary for 15 years now. There was a season of my life where I felt stuck. I lacked clarity and couldn't quite figure out what was wrong. Someone recommended that I [and my colleagues] schedule a debriefing week, and we were able to get away and have an amazing week with the debriefers! We were guided in a process of mapping out different seasons of life and identifying key moments. We were deeply impacted as we saw how the previous years had held so much loss and transition that had been unprocessed. I believe that anyone who has been in missions, or anyone who has walked through transitions and loss, would benefit greatly from debriefing."
