Webinar: Jesus in the Secular World #1: Understanding Global SecularizationChange That Lasts: Debriefing and Following Through with STM Participants
Friday @ 1:30pm
How do you help your teammates process their experiences? How do we apply such a unique experience to our ordinary lives when we return? This workshop will help you identify ways to prepare people for re-entry before you leave and debrief participants in real time on the field. We'll also help you identify stages of re-entry in yourself and others as well as equip you with questions and strategies that help move participants from the stage of gradual adjustment back to life as it is to adapting life to what it should be. Additionally, we'll address how team leaders can follow-through with participants in a way that acknowledges God's unique working in their lives rather than a one-size-fits all program—or no program at all!
