Transition and Member Care
 If you’ve ever gone through significant change you'll know that transition can be pretty rough. This summer my team is supporting 16 families coming home to Canada. One returning staff member recently told me, "I am tired and sick." Dealing with the pandemic in a developing country has been no picnic.
To alleviate the stress of returning, Wycliffe has partnered with the MORE network to provide an opportunity for our families to transition well through the Re-View and Re-Boot programs. Re-View is for families and offers debriefing sessions, modules about how to navigate reverse culture shock and connecting. Re-Boot is for high school graduates and young adult TCKs (Third Culture Kids) who are not only experiencing a change of cultures but are taking steps to launch out on their own. It can be a tumultuous time, and the Re-Boot programs offer a safe landing.
It's all part of our staff care and wellbeing focus and one of many ways in which my team supports our staff, whether they are serving in a dangerous location, or from the Fraser Valley of BC (not without its own dangers!). Please pray for me and my team to have wisdom to know how to best serve our people. We need physical health and stamina, grace, and discernment as we help our people.
